Disease Genetic defect/presumed pathogenesis Circulating T cells Circulating B cells Serum Ig Associated features/similar PID
Associated with somatic mutations
 Autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome (ALPS–SFAS) Somatic mutation in TNFRSF6 Increased CD4−CD8−double negative (DN) T alpha/beta cells Normal, but increased number of CD5+ B cells Normal or increased Splenomegaly, lymphadenopathy, autoimmune cytopenias
Defective lymphocyte apoptosis/ALPS–FAS (=ALPS type Im)
 RAS-associated autoimmune leukoproliferative disease (RALD) Somatic mutation in KRAS (gain-of-function) Normal B cell lymphocytosis Normal or increased Splenomegaly, lymphadenopathy, autoimmune cytopenias, granulocytosis, monocytosis/ALPS-like
