VEXAS, Chediak–Higashi syndrome and Danon disease: myeloid cell endo-lysosomal pathway dysfunction as a common denominator? by Coline Savy, Maxence Bourgoin, Thomas Cluzeau, Arnaud Jacquel, Guillaume Robert, Patrick Auberger

“…In the present review we discuss the possibility that some common clinical manifestations of these diseases, notably the hematopoietic ones are consecutive to a dysfunction of the endo-lysosomal pathway in myeloid/erythroid progenitors and in mature myeloid cells including neutrophiles, monocytes and macrophages. Finally, we propose reacidification as a way of reinducing lysosome functionalities and autophagy as a potential approach for a better management of these diseases.…”
