Abstract:
RAS-associated autoimmune lymphoproliferative disorder (RALD) is a rare congenital immunodeficiency disorder caused by somatic mutations in NRAS or KRAS. Its main pathological feature is immune dysregulation-induced hematologic destruction, presenting with symptoms resembling autoimmune diseases. RALD exhibits significant clinical heterogeneity, with manifestations including autoimmune phenomena, hepatosplenomegaly, lymphadenopathy, monocytosis, and increased susceptibility to infections. Owing to its rarity and its unclear nature, a standardized therapeutic regimen for RALD is currently lacking. This review summarizes the latest advances in the pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, differential diagnosis, and treatment of RALD, aiming to provide new insights and reference for the understanding and management of this disorder.
