Management of Mevalonate Kinase Deficiency: A Pediatric Perspective [PDF]

Frontiers in Immunology, 2020
Background: Mevalonate kinase deficiency (MKD) is an inborn error of metabolism leading to a syndrome characterized by recurrent inflammation. This clinically manifests itself as fever and can be accompanied by gastrointestinal symptoms, oral ulcers ...

Tocilizumab for the Treatment of Mevalonate Kinase Deficiency [PDF]

Case Reports in Pediatrics, 2018
Mevalonate kinase deficiency (MKD) is a severe autoinflammatory disease caused by recessive mutations in MVK resulting in reduced function of the enzyme mevalonate kinase, involved in the cholesterol/isoprenoid pathway.

Case Report: Mevalonate kinase deficiency: an underdiagnosed cause of ischemic stroke—characterization of a novel genetic variant [PDF]

Frontiers in Immunology
Mevalonate kinase deficiency (MKD) is an inherited autoinflammatory syndrome resulting from impaired isoprenoid biosynthesis due to biallelic mevalonate kinase (MVK) mutations.

Isolated neurological presentations of mevalonate kinase deficiency [PDF]

JIMD Reports, 2023
Mevalonate kinase (MK) deficiency is a rare autosomal recessive metabolic disorder caused by pathogenic variants in the MVK gene with a broad phenotypic spectrum including autoinflammation, developmental delay and ataxia. Typically, neurological symptoms

Inhibition of human mevalonate kinase by allosteric inhibitors of farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase [PDF]

FEBS Open Bio
Mevalonate kinase is a key regulator of the mevalonate pathway, subject to feedback inhibition by the downstream metabolite farnesyl pyrophosphate. In this study, we validated the hypothesis that monophosphonate compounds mimicking farnesyl pyrophosphate

Pediatric Rheumatology Online Journal, 2021
Background Mevalonate kinase deficiency (MKD) is a rare autoinflammatory condition caused by biallelic loss-of-function (LOF) mutations in mevalonate kinase (MVK) gene encoding the enzyme mevalonate kinase.

Compromised Protein Prenylation as Pathogenic Mechanism in Mevalonate Kinase Deficiency [PDF]

Frontiers in Immunology, 2021
Mevalonate kinase deficiency (MKD) is an autoinflammatory metabolic disorder characterized by life-long recurring episodes of fever and inflammation, often without clear cause. MKD is caused by bi-allelic pathogenic variants in the MVK gene, resulting in
