Hereditary thrombocytopenia with platelet sialic acid deficiency and mutations in the GNE genes [PDF]

Transfusion, 2023
AbstractBackgroundThe inherited macrothrombocytopenias are rare disorders and the underlying cause can be identified in many cases but in some, this can remain enigmatic. Platelet transfusions are often administered during hemorrhagic events.MethodsA patient with previously unexplained inherited macrothrombocytopenia with a platelet count between 3–20 ×

GNE: A deep learning framework for gene network inference by aggregating biological information [PDF]

BMC Systems Biology, 2018
AbstractThe topological landscape of gene interaction networks provides a rich source of information for inferring functional patterns of genes or proteins. However, it is still a challenging task to aggregate heterogeneous biological information such as gene expression and gene interactions to achieve more accurate inference for prediction and ...

A novel missense mutation in the GNE gene in an Iranian patient with hereditary inclusion body myopathy

Journal of Research in Medical Sciences, 2014
Hereditary inclusion body myopathy (hIBM) is an adult-onset hereditary myopathy, usually with distal onset and quadriceps sparing. This myopathy is autosomal recessive and associated to UPD-N-acetylglucosamine-2-epimerase/N-acetylmannosamine kinase (GNE)

Gne-Depletion in C2C12 Myoblasts Leads to Alterations in Glycosylation and Myopathogene Expression [PDF]

Cells
GNE 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 ...

Hydroxyethylamine & phthalimide analogs restoring defects due to GNE dysfunction: rare disease therapeutic significance [PDF]

Molecular Medicine
Rare diseases refer to a group of neglected diseases with low prevalence that face challenges in diagnostics as well as therapeutics due to phenotypic heterogeneity and ineffective clinical trials.

Decoding GNE Myopathy: From Molecular Basis to Therapeutic Advances [PDF]

Annals of Indian Academy of Neurology
GNE 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

Mutation analysis of the GNE gene in Korean patients with distal myopathy with rimmed vacuoles [PDF]

Journal of Human Genetics, 2006
Distal myopathy with rimmed vacuoles (DMRV; MIM 605820) is an autosomal recessive neuromuscular disorder characterized by weakness of the anterior compartment of the lower limbs, sparing the quadriceps muscles. Recently, mutations in the UDP-N-acetylglucosamine-2-epimerase/N-acetylmannosamine kinase (GNE) gene have been identified as the genetic basis ...

Novel Mutations of the GNE Gene in Distal Myopathy with Rimmed Vacuoles Presenting with Very Slow Progression [PDF]

Case Reports in Neurology, 2012
We report novel compound heterozygous mutations of the UDP-N-acetylglucosamine-2-epimerase and N-acetylmannosamine kinase (GNE) gene, c.302G>A (p.R101H) and c.617-4A>G, in a Japanese family with distal myopathy with rimmed vacuoles (DMRV) presenting with

The Mysterious Evolutionary Origin for the GNE Gene and the Root of Bilateria [PDF]

Molecular Biology and Evolution, 2011
Phylogenomic analyses have revealed several important metazoan clades, such as the Ecdysozoa and the Lophotrochozoa. However, the phylogenetic positions of a few taxa, such as ctenophores, chaetognaths, acoelomorphs, and Xenoturbella, remain contentious.

GNE myopathy with premature ovarian failure: Case report and review of the literature [PDF]

Molecular Genetics and Metabolism Reports
GNE 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.
