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.

Abstract Background Finding sensitive clinical outcome measures has become crucial in natural history studies and therapeutic trials of neuromuscular disorders. Here, we focus on 1‐year longitudinal data from quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and phosphorus magnetic resonance spectroscopy (31P MRS) in a placebo‐controlled study of sirolimus

GlcNAc2-epimerase myopathy is a rare autosomal recessive myopathy characterized by distal involvement in the lower extremities. Our study reprogrammed human-induced pluripotent stem cells from peripheral blood mononuclear cells of a patient with GNE gene

Despite the great potential of disease modeling using human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) derived from patients with mutations, lack of an appropriate isogenic control hinders a precise phenotypic comparison due to the bias arising from the dissimilar ...

Gne-Depletion in C2C12 Myoblasts Leads to Alterations in Glycosylation and Myopathogene Expression
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 ...

Background Many myopathies share clinical features in common, and diagnosis often requires genetic testing. We ascertained a family in which five siblings presented with distal muscle weakness of unknown etiology.

Insights into muscle degeneration from heritable inclusion body myopathies
Muscle mass and function is gradually lost in age-related, degenerative neuromuscular disorders which also reflect the clinical hallmarks of sarcopenia.

Immunoblots of AβPP and p-tau in control and GNE myopathy muscle biopsies.
A: Immunoblots of muscle homogenates of two normal control and five GNE myopathy muscle biopsies demonstrate in GNE myopathy a much stronger expression of AβPP and p-tau as compared to control muscle biopsies.
