Muscle imaging findings in GNE myopathy
GNE myopathy (MIM 600737) is an autosomal recessive muscle disease caused by mutations in the UDP-N-acetylglucosamine 2-epimerase/N-acetylmannosamine kinase (GNE) gene. Besides the typical phenotype, characterized by the initial involvement of the distal

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

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 ...

Non-specific accumulation of glycosphingolipids in GNE myopathy
International audienceBackground: UDP-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 ...

ABSTRACT Coffin–Siris syndrome (CSS) (OMIM:614608) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by global developmental delay (GDD), speech impediment, coarse facial features, and hypoplastic or absent fifth fingernails/toenails. Genetic variants in the SMARCB1 gene are associated with CSS, benign tumors (schwannomas), and rhabdoid tumor predisposition ...

Quantitative Guanidinium CEST‐Based pH Mapping at 3 T in Healthy and Pathological Muscle
Chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) enables high‐resolution pH mapping by measuring the exchange rate between guanidinium and water protons. The current method is based on the Z‐spectra fitting with Bloch–McConnell (BM) equations and allows us to detect pH variations on the order of 0.02 pH units in the very restrained pathophysiological pH ...

GNE Myopathy with Congenital Thrombocytopenia [PDF]
GNE myopathy is a distal dominant myopathy with characteristic sparing of quadriceps, which is known to be caused by mutation of the GNE gene. Recently, there were some reports of thrombocytopenia that concurred with GNE myopathy. We also present a case

Non-GNE Quadriceps Sparing Distal Myopathy in an Iranian Jewish Patient.
GNE myopathy is an autosomal-recessive distal myopathy. It is caused by a hypomorphic GNE gene, encoding the rate-limiting enzyme in sialic acid synthesis.

Altered Actin Dynamics in Cell Migration of GNE Mutant Cells
Cell migration is an essential cellular process that requires coordination of cytoskeletal dynamics, reorganization, and signal transduction. The actin cytoskeleton is central in maintaining the cellular structure as well as regulating the mechanisms of ...
