Summary
This study follows people with autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome (ALPS) and their relatives over many years.

The goal is to learn how the disease develops and find better ways to manage it.

What this could lead to
If successful, this study could lead to a better understanding of ALPS and point toward targeted treatments for this rare immune disorder.
