Spectrum of IBM2 Mutations

GNE Mutations Associated with IBM2/DMRV/HIBM/QSM, updated 8/03/2012.

Table 1 is organized by reported patient(s). Table 2 is organized by the specific mutation. Mutations are reported using “E[Exon number]:” or “I[Intron number]” followed by “p.[Protein change]” or “c.[cDNA change]” followed by codon change in parentheses.
