Evaluation of N-Acetylmannosamine Administration to Restore Sialylation in GNE-Deficient Human Embryonal Kidney Cells

Frontiers in Bioscience-Landmark, 2023
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 ...
