Mevalonate Kinase Deficiency

2019
Mevalonate kinase deficiency (MKD) is a rare autosomal recessive autoinflammatory disease caused by mutations in the mevalonate kinase (MVK) gene. It is characterized by recurrent attacks of fever mostly associated with cervical lymphadenopathy, cutaneous, digestive, and musculoskeletal manifestations.

Mevalonate kinase deficiency nomenclature

Rheumatology International, 2013
In the letter of Celsi et al. [1], the authors suggest dropping the names of hyper-IgD syndrome (HIDS) and mevalonate kinase deficiency (MKD) for this hereditary syndrome. They base their conclusion upon the fact that there is no correlation between serum IgD concentration and disease severity, that not all HIDS patients show elevated IgD, and that ...

Uveitis, glaucoma, and cataract with mevalonate kinase deficiency

Journal of American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus, 2022
We report 7 years of follow-up data on ocular findings in a 2-month-old boy who presented with early-onset bilateral granulomatous panuveitis with subsequent development of secondary glaucoma and total cataract, along with multisystem involvement. He was diagnosed with mevalonate kinase deficiency (MKD), with a homozygous missense variant in exon-6 of ...

Mevalonate Kinase Deficiency

2016
Mevalonate kinase deficiency (MKD) is an autosomal recessive inborn error of isoprenoid biosynthesis, a pathway yielding sterols and nonsterol isoprenoids.In patients, the enzyme activity of mevalonate kinase is severely reduced due to mutations in the encoding gene, MVK.

Mevalonate Kinase Deficiency and Autoinflammatory Disorders

New England Journal of Medicine, 2007
Drs. Dorothea Haas and Georg Hoffmann write that mevalonic aciduria and hyperimmunoglobulinemia D syndrome are rare disorders, but they represent a unique link among inborn errors of metabolism, side effects of statin therapy, and inflammatory and rheumatic disorders.

Mevalonate kinase deficiency in a child with cerebellar ataxia, hypotonia and mevalonic aciduria

European Journal of Pediatrics, 1988
Mevalonate kinase deficiency has been documented in an 8-year-old child who presented with cerebellar ataxia, hypotonia and mevalonic aciduria. The activity of mevalonate kinase in extracts of cultured skin fibroblasts derived from the patient was approximately 2% of the mean value for controls. Family studies were carried out on the mother, the father

Mevalonate kinase deficiency, a metabolic autoinflammatory disease

Clinical Immunology, 2013
Mevalonate kinase deficiency is a rare autosomal recessive inborn error of metabolism with an autoinflammatory phenotype. In this review we discuss its pathogenesis, clinical presentation and treatment. Mutations in both copies of the MVK-gene lead to a block in the mevalonate pathway. Interleukin-1beta mediates the inflammatory phenotype.

Retinitis pigmentosa in mevalonate kinase deficiency

Journal of Inherited Metabolic Disease, 2005
SummaryRetinitis pigmentosa can occur as a complication of mevalonate kinase deficiency. This may be due to the unique isoprenoid metabolism in the retina. Early detection requires awareness on the part of the treating physician.
