Normally, after infectious insult, the immune system down-regulates by increasing Fas expression on activated B and T [[lymphocytes]] and [[Fas-ligand]] on activated T lymphocytes.  Fas and Fas-ligand interact to trigger the caspase cascade, leading to cell [[apoptosis]].  Patients with [[ALPS]] have a defect in this apoptotic pathway, leading to chronic non-malignant lymphoproliferation, [[autoimmune disease]], and secondary cancers.<ref name="pmid19930184">{{cite journal| author=Teachey DT, Seif AE, Grupp SA| title=Advances in the management and understanding of autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome (ALPS). | journal=Br J Haematol | year= 2010 | volume= 148 | issue= 2 | pages= 205-16 | pmid=19930184 | doi=10.1111/j.1365-2141.2009.07991.x | pmc=PMC2929682 | url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=19930184  }} </ref> [[T cell]] activation induce FASL [[expression]] leading to binding with the FAS [[receptor]] on nearby [[cells]]. This pathway activates the FAS associated [[protein]] with death domain (FADD). FADD then create the death inducing signal complex(DISC) in association with pro-caspase 8 and pro-caspase 10. DISC activates terminal [[caspases]] and induce [[apoptosis]] which is known as activation induced [[cell death]](AICD). In ALPS , [[T cells]] become defective due to the [[mutation]] in FASL pathway. Though most of these [[mutations]] are [[autosomal dominant]], some are [[autosomal recessive]] type or sporadic [[mutations]].

Overview

Autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome(ALPS) is the first disease in human beings which are caused by apoptosis defect. Defect in FAS signaling cause benign chronic lymphoproliferation followed by accumulation of TCRαβ(+) CD4(-) CD8(-) double-negative T (DNT) cells. FAS also prevent the mailgnant proliferation of lymphocytes , so ALPS patients are at higher risk of developing lymphoma.There is an identified genetic defect in 2/3 rd of the total cases of ALPS. Germline mutation is the most common type. Somatic mutation, mutations in the proteins of FAS ligand(FASL) and caspase are also responsible in some cases.The pathogenesis of ALPS is still not very clear and research is ongoing.
