Review of Congenital Myasthenic Syndrome Caused by Pathogenic Variants in GFPT1

Muscle &Nerve, Volume 74, Issue S1, Page S58-S64, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Glutamine:fructose‐6‐phosphate transaminase 1 (GFPT1) catalyzes the first and rate‐limiting step of the hexosamine biosynthetic pathway (HBP) to generate UDP‐GlcNAc. GFPT1 exon 9 is specifically spliced in in striated muscles, which makes a long isoform of GFPT1 (GFPT1‐L).
