Increased core body temperature exacerbates defective protein prenylation in mouse avatars of mevalonate kinase deficiency
2022-03-02
Abstract excerpt
<h4>SUMMARY</h4> Mevalonate kinase deficiency (MKD) is caused by biallelic loss-of-function mutations in MVK , leading to recurrent fevers and systemic inflammation. We describe new mouse avatars of MKD bearing p.Val377Ile (the commonest variant) or deletions in Mvk . Compound heterozygous mice recapitulated the biochemical phenotype of MKD, with build-up of unprenylated GTPases and increased plasma mevalonic a...
