摘要:
In patients with mevalonate kinase deficiency, urinary excretion of the leukotriene LTE4 was found to be elevated. A positive linear relationship between increased urinary excretion of mevalonate and LTE4 ( n = 5) suggests that increased cysteinyl leukotriene synthesis is involved in the pathomechanisms of this disease.
