Dominant stop-loss HNRNPA1 variants in juvenile-onset myopathy. [PDF]
Abstract Introduction/Aims Heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein A1 is involved in nucleic acid homeostatic functions. The encoding gene HNRNPA1 has been associated with several neuromuscular disorders including an amyotrophic lateral sclerosis‐like phenotype, distal hereditary motor neuropathy, multisystem proteinopathy, and various myopathies.

Estimating the Prevalence of GNE Myopathy Using Population Genetic Databases. [PDF]
GNE myopathy (GNEM) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by progressive skeletal muscle wasting starting in early adulthood. The prevalence of GNEM is estimated to range between one and nine cases per million individuals, but the accuracy of these estimates is limited by underdiagnosis, misdiagnosis, and bias introduced by founder ...

A novel insertion mutation c.*1037_*1038CACACACACACACACACACACA was identified in a GNE myopathy patient with congenital thrombocytopenia. The patient's congenital thrombocytopenia was found prior to the muscle weakness. Abstract We reported a GNE myopathy with congenital thrombocytopenia on a young male patient.

Expanding the clinicopathological‐genetic spectrum of GNE myopathy by a Chinese neuromuscular centre
Abstract GNE myopathy is a heterogeneous group of ultrarare neuromuscular disorders caused by mutations in the GNE gene. An estimated prevalence of 1~21/1,000,000 leads to a deficiency of data and a lack of availability of samples to conduct clinical research on this neuromuscular disorder.

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.

Sialylation acts as a checkpoint for innate immune responses in the central nervous system
Main Points Sialic acid residues coat CNS cells, particularly neurons, and are added by sialyltransferases and removed by neuraminidases. Sialylation is sensed by complement factors and SIGLECs, thereby acting as a checkpoint for innate immunity in the CNS.
