Sialic acid supplementation therapy for distal myopathy with rimmed vacuoles (GNE myopathy)
Distal myopathy with rimmed vacuoles or hereditary inclusion body myopathy, for which new nomenclature "GNE myopathy" is now proposed, is an autosomal recessive disease that preferentially affects tibialis anterior and hamstrings muscles in young adults.

Myotilin gene duplication causing late-onset myotilinopathy. [PDF]
Abstract Background myotilinopathy is a very rare inherited muscle disease that belongs to the group of myofibrillar myopathies. These diseases share a common alteration of the sarcomere organization at the level of the Z disk resulting in pathological protein aggregation, autophagic abnormalities, and ultimately muscle degeneration.

Distal myopathy with rimmed vacuoles and cerebellar atrophy
Distal myopathies constitute a clinically and pathologically heterogeneous group of genetically determined neuromuscular disorders, where the distal muscles of the upper or lower limbs are affected. The disease of a 41-year-old male patient started with gait disturbances, when he was 25.

Human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived myotubes to model inclusion body myositis [PDF]
Inclusion body myositis (IBM) is an inflammatory myopathy that displays proximal and distal muscle weakness. At the histopathological level, the muscles of IBM patients show inflammatory infiltrates, rimmed vacuoles and mitochondrial changes.
