One genetic cause of thrombocytopenia is autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome
(alps) with splenomegaly, lymphadenopathy + other autoimmune features, mentioned
here because of its interesting pathogenesis related to faulty apoptosis
(programmed cell death of lymphocytes activated via routine infections) due to
mutation of the gene known as Fas'. Apoptosis is essential immunological
function, and is regulated by the Fas/Apo-1 receptor (Blood 1997 89
1341).; page 328
