Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome is a disorder of lymphocyte apoptosis. Although FAS molecules bearing mutations in the signal-transducing intracellular death domain exhibit dominant-negative interference with FAS-mediated apoptosis, mechanisms for pathology of non-death domain FAS mutations causing autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome are poorly defined. METHODS: RNA stability, protein...
