Abstract excerpt
Distal myopathy with rimmed vacuoles (DMRV) is an early-adult-onset, distal myopathy caused by a mutation of the UDP-N-acetylglucosamine 2 epimerase/N-acetylmannosamine kinase (GNE) gene. We herein report four Thai patients with DMRV who carried compound heterozygous mutations of the GNE gene including three novel (p.G89R, p.P511T, and p.I656N) and two known mutations (p.A524V and p.V696M). All patients shared...
