In vivo and in vitro genome editing to explore GNE functions

Frontiers in Genome Editing, 2022
GNE myopathy is an adult onset neuromuscular disorder characterized by slowly progressive distal and proximal muscle weakness, caused by missense recessive mutations in the GNE gene.

Non‐specific accumulation of glycosphingolipids in GNE myopathy [PDF]

Journal of Inherited Metabolic Disease, 2013
AbstractBackgroundUDP‐GlcNAc 2‐epimerase/ManNAc 6‐kinase (GNE) is a bifunctional enzyme responsible for the first committed steps in the synthesis of sialic acid, a common terminal monosaccharide in both protein and lipid glycosylation. GNE mutations are responsible for a rare autosomal recessive neuromuscular disorder, GNE myopathy (also called ...

Autophagy in GNE Myopathy [PDF]

, 2013
Muscle diseases represent specific muscle pathology. The characteristic features as hallmarks of diseases have been historically used to diagnose the patients. The “Rimmed vacuole (RV)” (Figures 1) is one of such characteristic features in certain groups of the diseases.

Mutation Update forGNEGene Variants Associated with GNE Myopathy [PDF]

Human Mutation, 2014
The GNE gene encodes the rate-limiting, bifunctional enzyme of sialic acid biosynthesis, uridine diphosphate-N-acetylglucosamine 2-epimerase/N-acetylmannosamine kinase (GNE). Biallelic GNE mutations underlie GNE myopathy, an adult-onset progressive myopathy. GNE myopathy-associated GNE mutations are predominantly missense, resulting in reduced, but not

Nationwide patient registry for GNE myopathy in Japan [PDF]

Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases, 2014
GNE myopathy is a slowly progressive autosomal recessive myopathy caused by mutations in the GNE (glucosamine (UDP-N-acetyl)-2-epimerase/N-acetylmannosamine kinase) gene. This study aimed to (1) develop a nationwide patient registry for GNE myopathy in order to facilitate the planning of clinical trials and recruitment of candidates, and (2) gain ...

Crystal structure of the N-acetylmannosamine kinase domain of GNE. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2009
UDP-GlcNAc 2-epimerase/ManNAc 6-kinase, GNE, is a bi-functional enzyme that plays a key role in sialic acid biosynthesis. Mutations of the GNE protein cause sialurea or autosomal recessive inclusion body myopathy/Nonaka myopathy.

Evaluation of N-Acetylmannosamine Administration to Restore Sialylation in GNE-Deficient Human Embryonal Kidney Cells

Frontiers in Bioscience-Landmark, 2023
Background: A key mechanism in the neuromuscular disease GNE myopathy (GNEM) is believed to be that point mutations in the GNE gene impair sialic acid synthesis – maybe due to UDP-N-acetylglucosamine 2-epimerase/N-acetylmannosamine kinase (GNE) activity ...
