Molecular analysis of the MVK and TNFRSF1A genes in patients with a clinical presentation typical of the hyperimmunoglobulinemia D with periodic fever syndrome: a low-penetrance TNFRSF1A variant in a heterozygous MVK carrier possibly influences the phenotype of hyperimmunoglobulinemia D with periodic fever syndrome or vice versa.

Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To describe biochemical findings and the spectrum of mevalonate kinase (MVK) gene mutations as well as an associated TNFRSF1A low-penetrance variant in a series of patients with clinical features of the hyperimmunoglobulinemia D with periodic fever syndrome (HIDS). METHODS: The MVK gene was sequenced in 8 children and 1 adult (including 2 siblings) fulfilling the clinical criteria for HIDS. In...
