Preclinical Assessment of wt GNE Gene Plasmid for Management of Hereditary Inclusion Body Myopathy 2 (HIBM2)
Hereditary Inclusion Body Myopathy (HIBM2) is a chronic progressive skeletal muscle wasting disorder which generally leads to complete disability before the age of 50 years. There is currently no effective therapeutic treatment for HIBM2. Development of this disease is related to expression in family members of an autosomal recessive mutation of the GNE gene, which encodes the bifunctional enzy...
متن کاملHereditary inclusion body myopathy: single patient response to GNE gene Lipoplex therapy.
BACKGROUND Hereditary inclusion body myopathy (HIBM) is an autosomal recessive adult onset myopathy. It is characterized by mutations of the GNE (UDP-N-acetylglucosamine 2-epimerase/N-acetylmannosamine kinase) gene. Afflicted patients have no therapeutic options. In preclinical testing, we have previously demonstrated the ability to correct GNE gene function and the safety of delivery of wild t...
متن کاملHereditary Inclusion Body Myopathy (HIBM2)
Hereditary inclusion body myopathy type 2 (HIBM2) is a myopathy characterized by progressive muscle weakness with early adult onset. The disease is the result of a recessive mutation in the Glucosamine (UDP-N-acetyl)-2-epimerase/N-acetylmannosamine kinase gene (GNE), which results in reduced enzyme function and sialic acid levels. A majority of individuals with HIBM2 are from Iranian-Jewish or ...
متن کاملa novel missense mutation in the gne gene in an iranian patient with hereditary inclusion body myopathy
hereditary inclusion body myopathy (hibm) is an adult-onset hereditary myopathy, usually with distal onset and quadriceps sparing. this myopathy is autosomal recessive and associated to upd-n-acetylglucosamine-2-epimerase/n-acetylmannosamine kinase (gne) gene mutations. in this study, we report a novel gne homozygous point mutation c.1834t>g that results in amino acid substitution of cysteine 6...
متن کاملNCAM is hyposialylated in hereditary inclusion body myopathy due to GNE mutations.
The authors found that the neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) is hyposialylated in hereditary inclusion body myopathy (HIBM) muscle, as suggested by its decreased molecular weight by Western blot. This abnormality represented the only pathologic feature differentiating HIBM due to GNE mutations from other myopathies with similar clinical and pathologic characteristics. If further confirmed in...
