Description
This sequence variant is a single nucleotide substitution (G>A) at position 1129 of the coding sequence of the MVK gene that results in a valine to isoleucine amino acid change at residue 377 of the mevalonate kinase protein. This is a previously reported variant (ClinVar 11929) that has been observed in a homozygous or compound heterozygous state in individuals affected by hyperimmunoglobulinaemia D and periodic fever syndrome (HIDS) and MK enzyme deficiency (MKD) (PMID: 10369261, 10369262, 10896296, 11313769, 12444096, 15536479, 17105862, 22038276, 23979089, 24360083, 24177804, 24233262, 24470648, 24561416, 25708585, 25866490, 26986117, 27213830, 31474985, 32822427, 33917151, 34525209, 34809655, 35387795). Additionally, the homozygous state of this variant is predicted to have variable penetrance of disease (PMID: 12634869, 25708585). This variant is present in 3382 of 1612856 alleles (0.2097%) in the gnomAD v4.0.0 population dataset. Multiple bioinformatic tools predict that this amino acid change would be neutral, and the Val377 residue at this position is moderately conserved across the vertebrate species examined. Studies examining the functional consequence of this variant have found reduced or undetectable mevalonate kinase activity and MK protein expression in affected individuals (PMID: 10369261). Based upon the evidence, we consider this variant to be pathogenic. ACMG Criteria: BP4, PM3, PP1, PS3, PS4
