<i>GNE</i> genotype explains 20% of phenotypic variability in GNE myopathy. [PDF]
To test the hypothesis that common GNE mutations influence disease severity; using statistical analysis of patient cohorts from different countries.Systematic literature review identified 11 articles reporting 759 patients. GNE registry data were used as a second data set.

Mutation Update forGNEGene Variants Associated with GNE Myopathy [PDF]
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

GNE myopathy: current update and future therapy [PDF]
GNE myopathy is an autosomal recessive muscle disease caused by biallelic mutations in GNE, a gene encoding for a single protein with key enzymatic activities, UDP-N-acetylglucosamine 2-epimerase and N-acetylmannosamine kinase, in sialic acid biosynthetic pathway. The diagnosis should be considered primarily in patients presenting with distal weakness (

Disrupted autophagy undermines skeletal muscle adaptation and integrity [PDF]
This review assesses the importance of proteostasis in skeletal muscle maintenance with a specific emphasis on autophagy. Skeletal muscle appears to be particularly vulnerable to genetic defects in basal and induced autophagy, indicating that autophagy ...

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