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 ...

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 ...

Novel HSPB1 mutation causes both motor neuronopathy and distal myopathy. [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: To identify the cause of isolated distal weakness in a family with both neuropathic and myopathic features on EMG and muscle histology. METHODS: Case study with exome sequencing in 2 affected individuals, bioinformatic prioritization of ...

Effects of altered sialic acid biosynthesis on N-linked glycan branching and cell surface interactions [PDF]
GNE myopathy is a rare muscle disorder associated with aging and is related to sporadic inclusion body myositis (sIBM), the most common acquired muscle disease of aging. While the cause of sIBM is unknown, GNE myopathy is associated with mutations in UDP-

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 ...

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 ...
