Abstract

Hereditary inclusion body myopathy (hIBM) is an adult-onset hereditary myopathy, usually with distal onset and quadriceps sparing. This myopathy is autosomal recessive and associated to UPD-N-acetylglucosamine-2-epimerase/N-acetylmannosamine kinase (GNE) gene mutations. In this study, we report a novel GNE homozygous point mutation c.1834T>G that results in amino acid substitution of cysteine 612 to glutamine in an Iranian patient. This mutation is located in exon 10 within the kinase domain of the protein. © 2014 Isfahan University of Medical Sciences(IUMS). All rights reserved.
