N‐glycosylation inhibitions by Tunicamycin (TUN) or by knockdown of phosphomannomutase 2 (PMM2) gene block the C2C12 myoblast fusion and impair the myogenic program. TUN treatment decreased myogenic markers and increased atrophy markers in muscles of WT and MLC/mIgf‐1 mice, which overexpress muscle Igf‐1Ea mRNA isoform.

Sialic acid supplementation therapy for distal myopathy with rimmed vacuoles (GNE myopathy)
Distal myopathy with rimmed vacuoles or hereditary inclusion body myopathy, for which new nomenclature "GNE myopathy" is now proposed, is an autosomal recessive disease that preferentially affects tibialis anterior and hamstrings muscles in young adults.

GNE Myopathy with Congenital Thrombocytopenia [PDF]
GNE myopathy is a distal dominant myopathy with characteristic sparing of quadriceps, which is known to be caused by mutation of the GNE gene. Recently, there were some reports of thrombocytopenia that concurred with GNE myopathy.

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

An Update on Reported Variants in the Skeletal Muscle α‐Actin (ACTA1) Gene
The ACTA1 gene encodes skeletal muscle alpha‐actin, which forms the core of the sarcomeric thin filament in adult skeletal muscle. ACTA1 represents one of six highly conserved actin proteins that have all been associated with human disease. The first 15 pathogenic variants in ACTA1 were reported in 1999, which expanded to 177 in 2009.

A Novel Autosomal Dominant Inclusion Body Myopathy Linked to 7q22.1-31.1 [PDF]
We describe a novel autosomal dominant hereditary inclusion body myopathy (HIBM) that clinically mimics limb girdle muscular dystrophy in a Chinese family. We performed a detailed clinical assessment of 36 individuals spanning four generations.

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
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 ...
