Autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome; ALPS

Disease ID:977
Name:Autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome; ALPS
Associated with:1 target
1 immuno-relevant target
1 immuno-relevant ligand
Description
ALPS covers a set of heterogenic heritable conditions characterised by a failure of apoptosis, that results in the accumulation of autoreactive lymphocytes. It manifests in early childhood as nonmalignant lymphadenopathy with hepatosplenomegaly and autoimmune cytopenias. Genes carrying ALPS-causing mutations include Fas receptor (type IA), fas ligand (type IB), caspase 10 (type IIA), caspase 8 (type IIB), PRKCD (ALPS3), NRAS (ALPS4) and CTLA4 (ALPS5).
