Although researchers have not been able to find the common
Mevalonic aciduria (MA) and hyper-IgD and periodic fever syndrome (HIDS) are two inherited disorders both caused by depressed mevalonate kinase (MK) activity. MK is the first enzyme to follow the highly regulated 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl (HMG)-CoA reductase (HMGR), which catalyzes the
