Abstract excerpt
ABSTRACT: Glucosamine (UDP-N-acetyl)-2-epimerase and N-acetylmannosamine (ManNAc) kinase (GNE) is a cytosolic enzyme in de novo sialic acid biosynthesis. Congenital deficiency of GNE causes an autosomal recessive genetic disorder associated with hereditary inclusion body myopathy and macrothrombocytopenia. Here, we report a pediatric patient with severe macrothrombocytopenia carrying 2 novel GNE missense...
