Hyper-IgD syndrome/mevalonate kinase deficiency: What is new?

Abstract

Mevalonate kinase deficiency or hyper-IgD syndrome is a hereditary autoinflammatory syndrome caused by mutations in the mevalonate kinase gene. In this review, we will discuss new findings in this disorder that have been published in the last 2 years. This includes new insights into pathophysiology, treatment, and the clinical phenotype linked to the genetic defect.
