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

Hereditary thrombocytopenia with platelet sialic acid deficiency and mutations in the
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]
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 ...

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)

Preclinical assessment of GNEwt/bi-shRNA-GNEM743T lipoplex product development for GNE myopathy [PDF]
Aims 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-Depletion in C2C12 Myoblasts Leads to Alterations in Glycosylation and Myopathogene Expression [PDF]
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 ...

Mechanistic role of GNE-987 targeting BRD4-HCP5 axis in pediatric T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. [PDF]
Abstract This study aims to explore the mechanism of action of the Bromodomain‐containing protein 4 (BRD4) inhibitor GNE‐987 in the treatment of pediatric T‐cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (T‐ALL), focusing on its effect in inhibiting T‐ALL cell proliferation by activating the HLA Complex P5 (HCP5) Super‐enhancer.
