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

Generation and characterization of a novel gne Knockout Model in Zebrafish
GNE Myopathy is a rare, recessively inherited neuromuscular worldwide disorder, caused by a spectrum of bi-allelic mutations in the human GNE gene. GNE encodes a bi-functional enzyme responsible for the rate-limiting step of sialic acid biosynthesis ...

Combined sequence and copy number analysis improves diagnosis of limb girdle and other myopathies
Abstract Objective Clinical and genetic heterogeneities make diagnosis of limb‐girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) and other overlapping disorders of muscle weakness complicated and expensive. We aimed to develop a comprehensive next generation sequence‐based multi‐gene panel (“The Lantern Focused Neuromuscular Panel”) to detect both sequence variants and

Increasing brain N‐acetylneuraminic acid alleviates hydrocephalus‐induced neurological deficits
Cerebrospinal fluid levels of N‐acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) decrease in patients with normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH). Neu5Ac levels are also inversely correlated with severity‐related clinical parameters of NPH. Increasing brain Neu5Ac by N‐acetylmannosamine alleviates the hydrocephalus‐induced neurological deficits in mice, which associates ...

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 ...
