Activated PI3K Syndrome: PIK3R1 Disease Fact Sheet
... The disease goes by several names, including activated PI3K syndrome. It is sometimes called PASLI, which stands for PI3K-activating mutation causing senescent T cells, lymphadenopathy, and immunodeficiency, or APDS2, which stands for activated PI3K delta syndrome 2. It also is referred to by the af ...
