Myopathy and ataxia related to impaired mitochondrial function in mevalonate kinase deficiency [PDF]

Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases
Background Mevalonate kinase deficiency (MKD) is a rare genetic disorder, resulting in the lack of the mevalonate kinase enzyme (MVK), which is involved in the biosynthesis of cholesterol, non-sterol isoprenoids, and coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10). The more severe

Mevalonate kinase deficiency: genetic and clinical characteristics of a Chinese pediatric cohort [PDF]

Pediatric Rheumatology Online Journal
Background Mevalonate kinase deficiency (MKD) is a rare autoinflammatory disease, and mevalonic aciduria (MA) is a severe phenotype of MKD. The present study reports the characteristics of MKD and four novel mutations in the mevalonate kinase (MVK) gene ...

A case report of Hyper-IgD syndrome in a 5-year-old girl with recurrent fever, skin rash, and arthralgia; novel MVK mutation (C.298G>A). [PDF]

Clin Case Rep
Key Clinical Message This case highlights the potential for later‐onset Hyper‐IgD syndrome (HIDS) even beyond infancy. Clinicians evaluating children with recurrent fever, skin rash, and arthralgia should consider HIDS in the differential diagnosis, regardless of age.
