Novel genotype of mevalonic aciduria with fatalities in premature siblings. [PDF]
Mevalonic aciduria is described in two very low birthweight siblings with unspecific clinical signs and recurrent septicaemia. Both died within the first 2 months of life. DNA analysis showed a novel mutation in the gene encoding mevalonate kinase.

Unraveling the Interplay Between Metabolism and Neurodevelopment in Health and Disease. [PDF]
Neurodevelopment is orchestrated by precise metabolic regulation. Key metabolic processes—glucose, lipid, and amino acid metabolism—drive cell proliferation, differentiation, synaptogenesis, and neurotransmitter synthesis. These are tightly integrated with signaling pathways like mTOR, AMPK, and insulin/IGF that regulate neuronal growth and synaptic ...

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]
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.

A Patient With Concurrent Hidradenitis Suppurativa and Porokeratosis Palmaris et Plantaris Disseminata: Case Report and Review of Autoinflammatory Keratinization Diseases. [PDF]
ABSTRACT The term autoinflammatory keratinization diseases (AIKDs) was recently proposed as a unifying concept for diseases characterized by inflammation in the epidermis and upper dermis which leads to hyperkeratosis, caused by genetic perturbations of the innate immune system.

Compromised Protein Prenylation as Pathogenic Mechanism in Mevalonate Kinase Deficiency
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

ROSAH syndrome mimicking chronic uveitis
An autosomal dominant multi‐systemic disorder including Retinal dystrophy, Optic nerve oedema, Splenomegaly, Anhidrosis and migraine Headaches, called ROSAH syndrome, has been related to a unique missense variant in ALPK1 gene. The main morbidity is ophthalmological and most of the patients have been treated for years with immunosuppressive treatments ...
