Abstract Most cellular ubiquitin signaling is initiated by UBA1, which activates and transfers to tens of E2 enzymes. Clonally acquired UBA1 missense mutations cause an inflammatory-hematologic overlap disease called VEXAS (vacuoles, E1, X-linked, autoinflammatory, somatic) syndrome. Despite extensive clinical investigation into this lethal disease, little known about the underlying molecular mechanisms. Here, dissecting VEXAS-causing mutations, we discovered that p.Met41 alter cytoplasmic...

The Dark Side of Langerhans Cells Several immune cell populations reside in the skin and are thought to provide a protective barrier against infections act as sentinels malignant transformation. However, studies mice that lack cells, subset dendritic have suggested these cells may actually promote tumorigenesis. Using mouse model squamous carcinoma, Modi et al. (p. 104 ) now reveal how transformation epithelial cells. In response carcinogen 7,12-dimethylbenz[α]anthracene (DMBA), increased...

Recent advances in the immunotherapeutic treatment of cancer have led to development multiple new directed therapies including monoclonal antibodies that block immune checkpoint T-cell receptor programmed death 1 (PD-1) and PD-1 ligand, ligand (PD-L1). Various immune-related toxicities been associated with these drugs including, most commonly, skin rashes.Five cases lichenoid dermatitis, one case mucositis lichen sclerosus, anti-PD-L1 anti-PD1 therapy were compared three biopsies...

Stevens-Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis (SJS/TEN) is a spectrum of severe mucocutaneous drug reaction associated with significant morbidity and mortality. A previously developed SJS/TEN-specific severity-of-illness model (Score Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis [SCORTEN]) has been reported to overestimate underestimate SJS/TEN-related in-hospital mortality in various populations.To derive risk prediction for among patients SJS/TEN compare prognostic accuracy the SCORTEN...

With an increasing number of patients eligible for immune checkpoint inhibitors, the incidence immune-related adverse events (irAEs) is on rise. Dermatologic (D-irAEs) are most common and earliest to manifest, often with important downstream consequences patient. Current guidelines lack clarity in terms diagnostic criteria D-irAEs. The goal this project better define D-irAE purposes identification, diagnosis, future study group diseases.The objectives were develop consensus guidance approach...

Mogamulizumab is a monoclonal antibody against CCR4 approved for treatment mycosis fungoides (MF) and Sézary syndrome (SS). Mogamulizumab-associated rash (MAR) difficult to differentiate from cutaneous MF or SS, which can lead unnecessary discontinuation of drug use because concern severe reaction incorrect presumption disease relapse progression in the skin.To examine most common clinical presentations MAR patients with SS diagnostic management challenges.This retrospective case series...

Abstract Hyperglycemia and rash are expected but challenging adverse events of phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase inhibition (such as with alpelisib). Two modified Delphi panels were conducted to provide consensus recommendations for managing hyperglycemia in patients taking alpelisib. Experts rated the appropriateness interventions on a 1-to-9 scale; median scores dispersion used classify levels agreement. Per panel, it is appropriate start alpelisib HbA1c 6.5% (diabetes) <8%, or at highest...

Rash is one of the most common adverse events observed with mogamulizumab, an anti-C-C chemokine receptor 4 monoclonal antibody approved for previously treated mycosis fungoides (MF) and Sezary syndrome (SS). Given nonspecific clinical presentations this rash, histopathologic distinction from MF/SS critical informing management. We performed a comprehensive characterization findings in mogamulizumab-associated rash (MAR) integration high-throughput sequencing T-cell (TCR) genes. Fifty-two...

Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) occur in nearly all patients on chemotherapy, causing morbidity and therapy disruptions. Detection of such ADRs is limited clinical trials, which are underpowered to detect rare events. Early recognition the postmarketing phase could substantially reduce decrease societal costs. Internet community health forums provide a mechanism for individuals discuss real-time concerns can enable computational detection ADRs.The goal this study identify cutaneous ADR signals...

Importance Previous studies have suggested that radiation therapy may contribute to an increased risk of subsequent nonkeratinocyte (ie, not squamous and basal cell) skin cancers. Objective To test the hypothesis for breast cancer increases cancers, particularly when these cancers are localized or trunk.
