Abstract

Background

GNE myopathy is the most common distal myopathy in China. We summarized the clinical, genetic, and pathological characteristics of 125 Chinese patients with GNE myopathy.

Methods

We collected clinical data of 21 patients diagnosed at our hospital and 104 patients from previous reports. Clinical, genetic, and pathological characteristics were summarized. According to the location of mutations, patients were classified into groups to analyze genotype–phenotype correlation. We reviewed the pathological features and studied the expressions of neural cell adhesion molecule.

Results

The severity of involvement of lower limb muscles was in the following order: tibialis anterior > biceps femoris > gastrocnemius > iliopsoas > quadriceps femoris. Mutation p.D207V was the most common variant in China. Patients carrying p.D207V tended to show later disease onset. In the epimerase/epimerase group, men had earlier disease onset than women (p < 0.05). In other groups, age at disease onset in females was earlier than that in males. Protein analysis showed decreased sialylation of NCAM and upregulation of LC3 in patients with different mutations.

Conclusions

Mutation p.D207V is the most common GNE variant in China. Involvement of flexor muscles in lower limbs was more obvious than extensor muscles. NCAM expression in patients with various mutations may be a useful diagnostic biomarker in GNE myopathy.

Niedriger diastolischer Blutdruck erhöht Risiko für schwere kardiovaskuläre Komplikationen

25.04.2024 Hypotonie Nachrichten

Wenn unter einer medikamentösen Hochdrucktherapie der diastolische Blutdruck in den Keller geht, steigt das Risiko für schwere kardiovaskuläre Ereignisse: Darauf deutet eine Sekundäranalyse der SPRINT-Studie hin.

Frühe Alzheimertherapie lohnt sich

25.04.2024 AAN-Jahrestagung 2024 Nachrichten

Ist die Tau-Last noch gering, scheint der Vorteil von Lecanemab besonders groß zu sein. Und beginnen Erkrankte verzögert mit der Behandlung, erreichen sie nicht mehr die kognitive Leistung wie bei einem früheren Start. Darauf deuten neue Analysen der Phase-3-Studie Clarity AD.

Viel Bewegung in der Parkinsonforschung

25.04.2024 Parkinson-Krankheit Nachrichten

Neue arznei- und zellbasierte Ansätze, Frühdiagnose mit Bewegungssensoren, Rückenmarkstimulation gegen Gehblockaden – in der Parkinsonforschung tut sich einiges. Auf dem Deutschen Parkinsonkongress ging es auch viel um technische Innovationen.

Demenzkranke durch Antipsychotika vielfach gefährdet

23.04.2024 Demenz Nachrichten

Wenn Demenzkranke aufgrund von Symptomen wie Agitation oder Aggressivität mit Antipsychotika behandelt werden, sind damit offenbar noch mehr Risiken verbunden als bislang angenommen.
