Abstract Mevalonic aciduria (MVA) and hyperimmunoglobulinemia D syndrome (MKD/HIDS) are disorders of cholesterol biosynthesis caused by variants in the MVK gene and characterized by increased urinary excretion of mevalonic acid. So far, 30 MVA patients have been reported, suffering from recurrent febrile crises and neurologic impairment.

Mevalonic aciduria: an inborn error of cholesterol biosynthesis?
Clinica Chimica Acta, 1985The application of combined gas-liquid chromatography mass spectrometry in the analysis of physiological fluids from patients in whom a metabolic disorder is suspected has revealed many new inborn errors of metabolism, especially organic acidurias. Inborn errors have been identified in the conversion of cholesterol into steroid hormones and bile acids (

Allogeneic Bone Marrow Transplantation in Mevalonic Aciduria
New England Journal of Medicine, 2007Mevalonic aciduria is a rare, inborn error of isoprene biosynthesis characterized by severe, periodic attacks of fever and inflammation, developmental delay, ataxia, and dysmorphic features. This autosomal recessive disease is caused by a mutation in the mevalonate kinase gene that severely reduces mevalonate kinase activity.

Probing cataractogenesis associated with mevalonic aciduria
Current Eye Research, 1998Mevalonic aciduria in humans results from a genetic deficiency of mevalonate kinase and is characterized by very high plasma mevalonic acid levels, developmental malformations and cataracts. This study tested the possibility that the cataracts could result from direct toxicity of the accumulated mevalonate.Young rat lenses were cultured for up to 4 ...

Clinical and Biochemical Phenotype in 11 Patients With Mevalonic Aciduria
Pediatrics, 1993Objective. Mevalonic aciduria is a consequence of the deficiency of mevalonate kinase, the first enzyme after 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase in the biosynthesis of cholesterol and nonsterol isoprenes. To establish the clinical and biochemical phenotype of mevalonic aciduria, the authors assembled their experience with 11 patients ...
