Activated phosphoinositide 3-kinase δ syndrome (APDS), a recently described primary immunodeficiency,is caused by autosomal dominant mutation in the phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate 3-kinase catalytic subunit delta(PIK3CD) gene encoding the p110δ catalytic subunit of PI3Kδ (APDS1) or the PIK3R1 gene that encodes the p85α regulatory subunit of PI3Kδ (APDS2). Here, PIK3CD is linked to Down syndrome.
