(3) In addition, mevalonic acid in urine and serum
mevalonate kinase levels can be used for firm diagnosis of HIDS.
In the CA, some MVAP precursor pools might be controlled by feedback regulation imposed by metabolites such as FPP operating in the downstream portions of the pathway, in a similar mode to the negative feedback of late MVAP precursors (GPP, FPP) on the activity of
mevalonate kinase described for terpene homeostasis in mammals [166].

mevalonate kinase deficiency) in patients with recurrent fever," Journal of Rheumatology, vol.
Also known as hyperimmunoglobulinemia D syndrome, MKD (OMIM 260920) is an autosomal recessive disease caused by mutations in the MVK gene [102](Table 1), encoding for the enzyme
mevalonate kinase, involved in the ATP-dependent phosphorylation of mevalonic acid into 5-phosphomevalonate.

mevalonate kinase deficiency.
