GNE myopathy (Nonaka myopathy)
GNE myopathy (Nonaka myopathy) is a rare recessive muscular dystrophy associated with the GNE gene, which is involved in sialic acid synthesis. Typical onset is in the third decade of life with distal weakness of the arms and legs, gradually progressing ...

Genetic and Clinical Spectrum of GNE Myopathy in Russia. [PDF]
GNE myopathy (GNEM) is a rare hereditary disease, but at the same time, it is the most common distal myopathy in several countries due to a founder effect of some pathogenic variants in the GNE gene. We collected the largest cohort of patients with GNEM from Russia and analyzed their mutational spectrum and clinical data.

Myogenesis defects in a patient-derived iPSC model of hereditary GNE myopathy [PDF]
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 ...
