Abstract excerpt
Hyperimmunoglobulinaemia D and periodic fever syndrome (HIDS) is an autosomal recessive inflammatory disorder characterised by recurrent episode of fever associated with lymphadenopathy, abdominal distress, joint involvement and skin lesions. We recently demonstrated that mutations in the mevalonate kinase gene (MVK) are associated with HIDS. Direct DNA sequencing was done to screen the entire coding region of...
