Abstract excerpt
The evolutionarily conserved mevalonate pathway plays an important role in the synthesis of cholesterol and isoprenoid compounds. Mevalonate kinase (MVK) and phosphomevalonate kinase (PMVK) enzymes regulate key rate-limiting steps in this pathway by sequentially phosphorylating mevalonic acid to yield downstream metabolites that regulate protein prenylation and cell signaling. Biallelic pathogenic variants in MVK...
