Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Studies of distal myopathy with rimmed vacuoles (DMRV) revealed that most patients had mutations in the UDP-N-acetylglucosamine 2-epimerase/N-acetylmannosamine kinase (GNE) gene. However, the correlation between GNE mutations and clinical features was not fully understood. PURPOSES: To report the correlation between the clinical features and genetic analysis of DMRV patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The...
