Mevalonate Kinase Deficiency

Mevalonate kinase deficiency (HyperIgD syndrome, HIDS) is an inborn error of immunity caused by a block in the mevalonate pathway. The subsequent lack of isoprenoids with antiinflammatory properties might contribute to the autoinflammatory nature of the disease. A pilot study aims to verify the safety and efficacy of the dietary supplement Geranylgeraniol, aiming at a mitigation of isoprenoids deficiency caused by the above-mentioned block in the MVK pathway.
