Defective Protein Prenylation in a Spectrum of Patients With Mevalonate Kinase Deficiency [PDF]
The rare autoinflammatory disease mevalonate kinase deficiency (MKD, which includes HIDS and mevalonic aciduria) is caused by recessive, pathogenic variants in the MVK gene encoding mevalonate kinase.

Perinatal Onset Mevalonate Kinase Deficiency
Defects in mevalonate kinase, a critical rate-limiting enzyme in cholesterol and isoprene metabolism, have been associated with 2 clinical phenotypes: mevalonic aciduria, which presents in infancy or early childhood with growth failure, dysmorphic features, and neurologic disease; and hyperimmunoglobulinemia D and periodic fever syndrome, which usually

Neonatal Hydrops and Biliary Atresia as an Early Presentation of Mevalonate Kinase Deficiency: A Case Report. [PDF]
Mevalonate kinase deficiency (MKD) is a rare autosomal recessive autoinflammatory disorder with a broad clinical spectrum. Neonatal presentation is uncommon and may mimic severe infection, leading to diagnostic delay.

Evolutionary hypothesis of the Mevalonate Kinase Deficiency
Mevalonate Kinase Deficiency (MKD) is an autosomal-recessively inherited disorder of cholesterol biosynthesis with higher prevalence in the Netherlands and other North European countries. MKD is due to mutations in the second enzyme of mevalonate pathway (mevalonate kinase, MK/MVK) which results in reduced enzymatic activity and in the consequent ...
