Abstract excerpt
Distal myopathy with rimmed vacuoles (DMRV; MIM 605820) is an autosomal recessive neuromuscular disorder characterized by weakness of the anterior compartment of the lower limbs, sparing the quadriceps muscles. Recently, mutations in the UDP-N-acetylglucosamine-2-epimerase/N-acetylmannosamine kinase (GNE) gene have been identified as the genetic basis of DMRV. To investigate the mutation spectrum of the GNE gene...
