Abstract excerpt
Hereditary inclusion body myopathy is a neuromuscular disorder characterized by muscle weakness with a late onset and slow progression. It is caused by mutations of the gene encoding UDP-N-acetylglucosamine-2-epimerase/N-acetylmannosamine kinase (GNE). One of the most frequent mutations is an exchange of methionine to threonine at position 712 (M712T). Here we analyzed wildtype (wt) and M712T-mutated (M712T) GNE....
