Abstract excerpt
Apoptosis plays an important role in controlling the adaptive immune response and general homeostasis of the immune cells, and impaired apoptosis in the immune system results in autoimmunity and immune dysregulation.

Autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome (ALPS) is an inborn error of immunity, characterized clinically by...
