Descriptor deficiencia de mevalonato cinasa
Entry term(s) deficiencia de mevalonato quinasa
hiperinmunoglobulinemia D
Scope note: Trastorno autosómico recesivo causado por mutaciones del gen de la mevalonato cinasa. A consecuencia de las mutaciones se altera la biosíntesis del colesterol y se acumula ÁCIDO MEVALÓNICO. Se caracteriza por síntomas variados que comprenden FACIES dismórfica, retraso psicomotor, CATARATAS, hepatoesplenomegalia, ATAXIA CEREBELOSA, elevación de la IMMUNOGLOBULINA D y crisis febriles recurrentes con FIEBRE, LINFADENOPATÍAS, ARTRALGIAS, EDEMA y erupciones.

Scope note: Autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the mevalonate kinase gene. Because of the mutations cholesterol biosynthesis is disrupted and MEVALONIC ACID accumulates. It is characterized by a range of symptoms, including dysmorphic FACIES, psychomotor retardation, CATARACT, hepatosplenomegaly, CEREBELLAR ATAXIA, elevated IMMUNOGLOBULIN D, and recurrent febrile crises with FEVER; LYMPHADENOPATHY; ARTHRALGIA; EDEMA; and rash.
