The correct answer is National Institutes of Health.

• Scientists at the National Institutes of Health have found a rare and deadly inflammatory disease affecting men called the VEXAS syndrome.
• The condition, called VEXAS after its features, is an inflammatory condition that tends to cause symptoms of blood clots, fevers, and, in 40% of cases, death.
• VEXAS has been found in men because it is linked to the X chromosome in which men only have one.
