However, the FADD interaction sites in the CD95 DD predicted by this model do not correlate with mutations observed in patients with autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome, a disease defined by mutations in CD95 which prevent DISC formation.41 In a different study, Wang et al.42 used electron microscopy to visualise CD95 DD–FADD DD interactions and observed that they bore a striking resemblance to the PIDD DD–RAIDD DD complex, being principally composed of 5 × CD95 DDs and 5 × FADD DDs layered together. This evidence concerns the gene FADD and autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome.
