VEXAS
Brief summary
The aim is rapid collection of real-life data on the epidemiology, treatment and disease course in patients with VEXAS syndrome during routine clinical practice and collect biomaterials to evaluate genotype-phenotype associations, determine optimal treatment schedule, identify diagnostic features and biomarkers
