A recurrent GNE variant causing GNE myopathy in unrelated patients from Pakistan: a case series [PDF]
Journal of Medical Case ReportsBackground GNE myopathy, also referred to as bifunctional UDP-N-acetylglucosamine 2-epimerase/N-acetylmannosamine kinase myopathy, is a progressive distal myopathy marked by rimmed vacuoles and linked to a variety of disease-causing genetic variants ...

Different electrophysiology patterns in GNE myopathy
Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases, 2022 Background GNE myopathy is a rare distal myopathy caused by mutations of the GNE gene. A few cases of GNE myopathy accompanied by neurogenic features of electrophysiology mimicking hereditary motor neuropathy were reported recently.

Gne-Depletion in C2C12 Myoblasts Leads to Alterations in Glycosylation and Myopathogene Expression [PDF]
CellsGNE myopathy is a rare genetic neuromuscular disorder caused by mutations in the GNE gene. The respective gene product, UDP-N-acetylglucosamine 2-epimerase/N-acetylmannosamine kinase (GNE), is a bifunctional enzyme that initiates endogenous sialic acid ...

Preclinical assessment of GNEwt/bi-shRNA-GNEM743T lipoplex product development for GNE myopathy [PDF]
Future Science OAAims GNE myopathy is a heredity disease of unmet medical need associated with progressive skeletal muscle wasting, atrophy and weakness caused by mutations in the GNE gene. GNE plays a pivotal role in sialic acid production.

GNE myopathy with premature ovarian failure: Case report and review of the literature [PDF]
Molecular Genetics and Metabolism ReportsGNE myopathy (GNE-M) is an ultra-rare disease characterized by muscle weakness in the extremities. The main etiology is that a pathogenic variation in the GNE gene leads to a reduction in sialic acid synthesis.

<i>GNE</i>-related severe congenital macro-thrombocytopenia in pregnancy. [PDF]
Obstet MedCongenital thrombocytopenia results from mutations in genes implicated in megakaryocyte differentiation and/or platelet formation and clearance. We report the case of a 25 year old primigravida who presented with severe macro-thrombocytopenia from the ...

GNE myopathy (Nonaka myopathy)
Анналы клинической и экспериментальной неврологии, 2019 GNE myopathy (Nonaka myopathy) is a rare recessive muscular dystrophy associated with the GNE gene, which is involved in sialic acid synthesis. Typical onset is in the third decade of life with distal weakness of the arms and legs, gradually progressing ...

Decoding GNE Myopathy: From Molecular Basis to Therapeutic Advances [PDF]
Annals of Indian Academy of NeurologyGNE myopathy is a rare, adult-onset, autosomal recessive muscle disorder caused by biallelic pathogenic variants in the GNE gene, which encodes a key enzyme in the biosynthesis of sialic acid. Deficient GNE enzyme activity results in decreased production

Clinical, pathological and genetic characteristics of GNE myopathy: a single-center observational study [PDF]
BMC Musculoskeletal DisordersIntroduction GNE myopathy is a rare autosomal recessive hereditary myopathy resulting in impaired sialic acid biosynthesis. The features of this condition include distal muscle weakness with relatively preserved quadriceps femoris strength and the ...

Biomolecules, 2023 Mutations in the gene coding for the bi-functional UDP-N-acetylglucosamine 2-epimerase/N-acetylmannosamine kinase (GNE), the key enzyme of the sialic acid biosynthesis, are responsible for autosomal-recessive GNE myopathy (GNEM).
