    Abstract Allergists and immunologists rely on other specialists for higher risk procedures such as biopsies of the lung or gastrointestinal tract. However, we perform and interpret a handful of procedures ourselves. Training programs have historically required competency for prescribing immunoglobulin infusions, patch testing, rhino laryngoscopy, lung function testing, and provocation testing for airway hyperreactivity even though other specialists often perform them. Bone marrow aspirations and biopsies are not included in fellowship training assessments despite a significant number of marrow evaluations being requested by allergists and immunologists. For example, nearly 1 marrow assessment per month has been requested over 2 years for patients in the Allergy Immunology Clinic at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. Marrow assessments are often required for diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment-related toxicities. Interpretive and procedural competency would benefit the field given the range of diseases in clinical immunology practice that require marrow assessment. We have generated a comprehensive list of the major conditions that might require bone marrow assessments in any Allergy and Immunology practice. We then summarize the specific tests that must be ordered and show how to determine sample quality. Finally, some providers may desire procedural competency and for those individuals we discuss tips for the procedure.

    Abstract The phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) pathway regulates diverse cellular processes, with finely tuned PI3Kδ activity being crucial for immune cell development and function. Genetic hyperactivation of PI3Kδ causes the inborn error of immunity activated phosphoinositide 3-kinase δ syndrome (APDS). Several PI3Kδ inhibitors have been investigated as treatment options for APDS, but only leniolisib has shown both efficacy and tolerability. In contrast, severe immune-mediated adverse events such as colitis, neutropenia, and hepatotoxicity have been observed with other PI3Kδ inhibitors, particularly those indicated for hematological malignancies. We propose that leniolisib is distinguished from other PI3Kδ inhibitors due to its structure, specific inhibitory properties selectively targeting the δ isoform without overinhibition of the δ or γ isoforms, and the precise match between APDS mechanism of disease and drug mechanism of action.

    Abstract Autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome (ALPS) is a rare disorder of apoptosis. It is frequently caused by mutations in FAS (TNFRSF6) gene. Unlike most of the self-limiting autoimmune cytopenias sporadically seen in childhood, multi lineage cytopenias due to ALPS are often refractory, as their inherited genetic defect is not going to go away. Historically, more ALPS patients have died due to overwhelming sepsis following splenectomy to manage their chronic cytopenias than due to any other cause, including malignancies. Hence, current recommendations underscore the importance of avoiding splenectomy in ALPS, by long-term use of corticosteroid-sparing immunosuppressive agents like mycophenolate mofetil and sirolimus. Paradigms learnt from managing ALPS patients in recent years is highlighted here and can be extrapolated to manage refractory cytopenias in patients with as yet undetermined genetic bases for their ailments. It is also desirable to develop international registries for children with rare and complex immune problems associated with chronic multilineage cytopenias in order to elucidate their natural history and long-term comorbidities due to the disease and its treatments.

    Abstract Chronic nonmalignant lymphoproliferation and autoimmune cytopenia are relevant manifestations of immunohematologic diseases of childhood. Their diagnostic classification is challenging but important for therapy. Autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome (ALPS) is a genetically defined inborn error of immunity combining these manifestations, but it can explain only a small proportion of cases. Diagnostic categories such as ALPS-like disease, common variable immunodeficiency, or Evans syndrome have therefore been used. Advances in genetics and increasing availablity of targeted therapies call for more therapy-oriented disease classification. Moreover, recent discoveries in the (re)analysis of genetic conditions affecting FAS signaling ask for a more precise definition of ALPS. In this review, we propose the term autoimmune lymphoproliferative immunodeficiencies for a disease phenotype that is enriched for patients with genetic diseases for which targeted therapies are available. For patients without a current molecular diagnosis, this term defines a subgroup of immune dysregulatory disorders for further studies. Within the concept of autoimmune lymphoproliferative immunodeficiencies, we propose a revision of the ALPS classification, restricting use of this term to conditions with clear evidence of perturbation of FAS signaling and resulting specific biologic and clinical consequences. This proposed approach to redefining ALPS and other lymphoproliferative conditions provides a framework for disease classification and diagnosis that is relevant for the many specialists confronted with these diseases.

    Abstract Recent advances in genomics have greatly expanded the spectrum of primary immune deficiencies (PIDs). Along with the identification of pathogenic variants in novel genes, distinct phenotypes have been associated with different variants in the same gene. Although PIDs have been historically defined based on increased susceptibility to infections, immune dysregulation has emerged as a frequent and in some cases, predominant phenotype. Autoimmune cytopenias with onset in childhood, lasting longer than 12 months, and affecting multiple lineages should raise the suspicion of a possible PID with monogenic origin. Characterization of the various molecular and cellular mechanisms responsible for these unusual manifestations of PIDs, although at times resource intensive, may allow for targeted intervention in many of them.

    Abstract Activated phosphoinositide 3-kinase delta syndrome (APDS) is an inborn error of immunity that manifests as immune deficiency and dysregulation; symptoms include frequent infections and lymphoproliferation. In our dose-finding and phase 3 placebo-controlled trials, treatment with the selective PI3Kδ inhibitor leniolisib reduced lymphoproliferation and normalized lymphocyte subsets. Here, we present 6 years of follow-up from the 6 adult patients in the original dose-finding trial receiving leniolisib. We used data from the ongoing open-label extension study, which was supplemented at later time points by investigators, including health-related quality of life assessed through a clinician-reported questionnaire. We observed improvements in health-related quality of life: 5/6 patients experienced an increase in physical capabilities and socialization and a decrease in prescribed medications. Immune subsets improved in all patients: mean transitional B-cell levels decreased from 38.17% to 2.47% and the CD4:CD8 T-cell ratio normalized to 1.11. Manifestations seen before and within the first year of leniolisib exposure, such as infections and gastrointestinal conditions, attenuated following year 2 with few new conditions emerging out to year 6. Thrombocytopenia or lymphopenia remained present in half of patients at year 6. Of 83 adverse events through year 5, 90.36% were grade 1; none were grade 4-5 nor deemed leniolisib-related. Collectively, we saw an enhancement in health-related quality of life as well as durable changes in lymphocyte subsets and clinical manifestations, further supporting the use of leniolisib as a long-term therapeutic option for the treatment of APDS.
