Purpose Distal myopathies are rare neuromuscular disorders, among which GNE myopathay (also known as Nonaka myopathy) results from autosomal recessive mutations in the GNE [glucosamine (UDP-N-acetyl)-2-epimerase/N-acetylmannosamine kinase] gene, while ...

GNE deficiency impairs Myogenesis in C2C12 cells and cannot be rescued by ManNAc supplementation [PDF]
GNE myopathy (GNEM) is a late-onset muscle atrophy, caused by mutations in the gene for the key enzyme of sialic acid biosynthesis, UDP-N-acetylglucosamine 2-epimerase/N-acetylmannosamine kinase (GNE).
