DiseaseHyperimmunoglobulinemia D and periodic fever syndrome (HIDS) [MIM:260920]: Autosomal recessive disease characterized by recurrent episodes of unexplained high fever associated with skin rash, diarrhea, adenopathy (swollen, tender lymph nodes), arthralgias and/or arthritis. Concentration of IgD, and often IgA, are above normal. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10369261, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10369262, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11313768, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11313769, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15536479}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
DiseaseMevalonic aciduria (MEVA) [MIM:610377]: Accumulation of mevalonic acid which causes a variety of symptoms such as psychomotor retardation, dysmorphic features, cataracts, hepatosplenomegaly, lymphadenopathy, anemia, hypotonia, myopathy, and ataxia. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10401001, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10417275, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11313768, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11313769, ECO:0000269|PubMed:1377680}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
