APDS2 is a combined immunodeficiency with a variable clinical phenotype. Complications are frequent, such as severe bacterial and viral infections, lymphoproliferation, and lymphoma similar to APDS1/PASLI-CD. Immunoglobulin replacement therapy, rapamycin, and, likely in the near future, selective phosphoinositide 3-kinase δ inhibitors are possible treatment options.

Key Points A high frequency of diverse activating mutations in costimulatory/TCR-related signaling genes occurs in AITL and other TFH-derived PTCL. Deregulated TCR activation may play a role in the pathogenesis of TFH-derived PTCL, paving the way for developing novel targeted therapies.
