Abstract | Background: GNE myopathy (GM) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by variants in the Case presentation: A 19-year-old male patient from a consanguineous family of Bambara ethnicity was seen for progressive walking difficulty and frequent falls. Neurological examination found distalmuscle weakness and atrophy and reduced tendon reflexes in four limbs. Electroneuromyography (ENMG) showed an axonal neuropathy pattern with reduced distal motor amplitudes. Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) gene panel testing (Medical Neurogenetics LLC, Atlanta, GA) was negative. However, whole exome sequencing (WES) revealed a novel biallelic variant in Conclusion: This study reports a novel variant in the |
