What is Autoimmune Lymphoproliferative Syndrome (ALPS) ?
Autoimmune Lymphoproliferative Syndrome (ALPS) is a very rare inherited immune disorder that is defined by the excessive survival of white blood cells (lymphocytes), which results in swollen lymph nodes, spleen, and autoimmune cytopenias (in which the immune system attacks its own blood cells). The syndrome usually starts during childhood and is caused by mutations in genes, particularly the FAS gene, which regulates programmed cell death (apoptosis) in immune cells.
Autoimmune Lymphoproliferative Syndrome ALPS Symptoms
ALPS patients can present with the following:
- Chronic swelling of lymph nodes (lymphadenopathy)
- Swelling of spleen and liver (splenomegaly, hepatomegaly)
- Low red blood cells, white blood cells, and/or platelets (autoimmune cytopenias)
- Risk of lymphoma
- Frequent infections
- Autoimmune conditions, including autoimmune hemolytic anemia or thrombocytopenia
Autoimmune Lymphoproliferative Syndrome Causes
ALPS is commonly caused by genetically inherited mutations within the FAS, FASL, or CASP10 genes that regulate apoptosis of lymphocytes. An inability in the mechanism results in the abnormal piling up of immune cells due to immune dysregulation.
Autoimmune Lymphoproliferative Syndrome Treatment (Conventional)
Basic treatments are as follows:
- Immune suppressors such as corticosteroids
- IVIG (intravenous immunoglobulin)
- Rituximab or Sirolimus in treatment-resistant cases
- Splenectomy in selected ones
- Bone marrow transplantation in grave, life-threatening cases
Nonetheless, long-term immunosuppression can enhance infection susceptibility and induce systemic side effects.
