What is the mutation spectrum of the GNE gene in patients with hereditary inclusion body myopathy sparing the quadriceps?
The study expands the known mutation spectrum of the GNE gene in hereditary inclusion body myopathy sparing the quadriceps across various worldwide ethnic groups.
Eisenberg et al. (2002) conducted an observational in Hereditary Inclusion Body Myopathy (HIBM) sparing the quadriceps. GNE gene mutations was evaluated on Identification of GNE mutations. Genetic analysis of families with Hereditary Inclusion Body Myopathy sparing the quadriceps identified 14 GNE mutations (6 novel), bringing the total reported mutations to 17.
