Background: A key mechanism in the neuromuscular disease GNE myopathy (GNEM) is believed to be that point mutations in the GNE gene impair sialic acid synthesis – maybe due to UDP-N-acetylglucosamine 2-epimerase/N-acetylmannosamine kinase (GNE) activity ...

4472 Plasma Neurofilament Light as a Biomarker for Pediatric Patients with Huntington’s Disease
OBJECTIVES/GOALS: The goal of this study is to compare plasma neurofilament light (NfL) concentrations in asymptomatic children and young adults that carry the gene expansion (GE group) that causes Huntington’s Disease to similar subjects that do not ...

Myogenesis defects in a patient-derived iPSC model of hereditary GNE myopathy
Hereditary muscle diseases are disabling disorders lacking effective treatments. UDP-N-acetylglucosamine-2-epimerase/N-acetylmannosamine kinase (GNE) myopathy (GNEM) is an autosomal recessive distal myopathy with rimmed vacuoles typically manifesting in ...

Dissecting role of founder mutation p.V727M in GNE in Indian HIBM cohort
GNE gene-specific c.2179G>A(p.V727M) is a key alteration reported in patients with hereditary inclusion body myopathy (HIBM) and represents an ethnic founder mutation in the Indian cohort.

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).

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

Behavioral features in child and adolescent huntingtin gene‐mutation carriers
Introduction We compared neuropsychiatric symptoms between child and adolescent huntingtin gene‐mutation carriers and noncarriers. Given previous evidence of atypical striatal development in carriers, we also assessed the relationship between ...

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 ...
