[edit] Review

PMID 16931648 - review of all related conditions. JFW | T@lk 11:44, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Statins

141.5.194.4 (talk ยท contribs) added that lovastatin caused severe crises rather than reducing attack frequency. I could not identify the paper in question (Houten 2003, no full citation provided). However, I suspect PMID 8386351 is the main reference; this study is about homozygous MK mutations causing mevalonic aciduria. Despite similarities, I don't think we can generalise results from that condition to HIDS. JFW | T@lk 16:32, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

PMID 15116060 documents benefit from simvastatin 80 mg. JFW | T@lk 19:59, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
