Overview
Autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome(ALPS) is a rare genetic disorder which predominantly manifests in early childhood. Due to the overlapping symptoms of lymphadenopathy, cytopenia, and splenomegaly; ALPS often is misdiagnosed or undiagnosed. A genetic test to detect FAS mutation is required to confirm the diagnosis. The majority of ALPS is curable by early adulthood. Patients with ALPS are at risk of developing lymphoma, therefore routine monitoring is required. Initially, ALPS was described as Canale-Smith syndrome. In 1990, it was described as ALPS. In 2009, guidelines for diagnosis and classification of ALPS were revised in an international workshop.
Historical Perspective
- Autoimmune Lymphoproliferative Syndrome was first discovered by Canale and Smith, in 1967.Five patients were reported with lymphadenopathy, cytopenia and splenomegaly.[1] [2]
- The syndrome was initially named as Canale-Smith Syndrome.
- In 1990, ALPS was first characterized
- In 1992, a mutation of lpr (lymphoproliferation phenotype) and gld (generalized lymphoproliferative disease phenotype), a human equivalent of murine disease is reported.
- In 1995, association between inborn mutation of Fas gene and the development of Autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome was discovered.
- In 2003, new mutation in Fas Ligand (FasL) gene mutation and caspase 8 or 10 gene mutations.
Landmark Events in the Development of Treatment Strategies
- In 1995, FAS gene mutation in ALPS was discovered.[3]
- In 2009, an international workshop held at NIH in Uthe United States, announced revised diagnostic criteria and classification of ALPS.[4]
- In 2017, mTOR inhibitor found to be an effective treatment for treatment refractory cytopenias related to ALPS.[5]
