TBXAS1 deficiency: a novel monogenic cause of chronic nonbacterial osteomyelitis responsive to COX inhibitors

These findings suggest a potential link between TBXAS1 deficiency and a distinct, milder CNO phenotype potentially mediated by the COX pathway. However, it remains uncertain whether TBXAS1 mutations define a new CNO subtype or represent an attenuated form of GHDD. Further functional and genetic studies targeting COX-pathway-related genes are needed to clarify the role of TBXAS1 in the pathogenesis of CNO and to identify novel disease mechanisms.
