Fighting the Cause of Alzheimer’s and GNE Myopathy [PDF]

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2018
Age is the common risk factor for both neurodegenerative and neuromuscular diseases. Alzheimer disease (AD), a neurodegenerative disorder, causes dementia with age progression while GNE myopathy (GNEM), a neuromuscular disorder, causes muscle ...

GNE myopathy (Nonaka myopathy)

Анналы клинической и экспериментальной неврологии, 2019
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 ...

Analysis of the pathogenicity of novel GNE mutations and clinical, pathological, and genetic characteristics of GNE myopathy in Chinese population [PDF]

Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases
Background GNE myopathy is a rare autosomal recessive distal myopathy caused by mutations in UDP-N-acetylglucosamine 2-epimerase/N-acetylmannosamine kinase (GNE), a bifunctional enzyme critical for sialic acid biosynthesis. This study aimed to describe a

A recurrent GNE variant causing GNE myopathy in unrelated patients from Pakistan: a case series [PDF]

Journal of Medical Case Reports
Background GNE myopathy, also referred to as bifunctional UDP-N-acetylglucosamine 2-epimerase/N-acetylmannosamine kinase myopathy, is a progressive distal myopathy marked by rimmed vacuoles and linked to a variety of disease-causing genetic variants ...

Clinical, pathological and genetic characteristics of GNE myopathy: a single-center observational study [PDF]

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders
Introduction GNE myopathy is a rare autosomal recessive hereditary myopathy resulting in impaired sialic acid biosynthesis. The features of this condition include distal muscle weakness with relatively preserved quadriceps femoris strength and the ...

GNE Myopathy: Etiology, Diagnosis, and Therapeutic Challenges. [PDF]

Neurotherapeutics, 2018
GNE myopathy, previously known as hereditary inclusion body myopathy (HIBM), or Nonaka myopathy, is a rare autosomal recessive muscle disease characterized by progressive skeletal muscle atrophy. It has an estimated prevalence of 1 to 9:1,000,000. GNE myopathy is caused by mutations in the GNE gene which encodes the rate-limiting enzyme of sialic acid ...

Decoding GNE Myopathy: From Molecular Basis to Therapeutic Advances [PDF]

Annals of Indian Academy of Neurology
GNE myopathy is a rare, adult-onset, autosomal recessive muscle disorder caused by biallelic pathogenic variants in the GNE gene, which encodes a key enzyme in the biosynthesis of sialic acid. Deficient GNE enzyme activity results in decreased production

Efficacy confirmation study of aceneuramic acid administration for GNE myopathy in Japan [PDF]

Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases, 2023
Background A rare muscle disease, GNE myopathy is caused by mutations in the GNE gene involved in sialic acid biosynthesis. Our recent phase II/III study has indicated that oral administration of aceneuramic acid to patients slows disease progression ...

Preclinical assessment of GNEwt/bi-shRNA-GNEM743T lipoplex product development for GNE myopathy [PDF]

Future Science OA
Aims GNE myopathy is a heredity disease of unmet medical need associated with progressive skeletal muscle wasting, atrophy and weakness caused by mutations in the GNE gene. GNE plays a pivotal role in sialic acid production.
