Summary

This study is looking at how well the drug tofacitinib works for people with Blau syndrome, a rare genetic condition that causes inflammation in the joints, eyes, and skin. Researchers will review medical records from 24 participants to see if tofacitinib helps control the disease. The goal is to find better treatment options for those who don't respond to standard therapies.
