Professor Stella Mitrani-Rosenbaum, is an associate professor at the Gene Therapy Institute. GNE myopathy (previous names: HIBM, DMRV, IBM2) is a unique distal myopathy with quadriceps sparing. This recessively inherited myopathy has been diagnosed in various regions of the world. Prof. Mitrani was the first to identify that the UDP-N-acetylglucosamine 2-epimerase/N-acetylmannosamine kinase gene is mutated in recessive hereditary inclusion body myopathy.( Nat Genet. 2001;29:83–87.) focus here studies on GNE myopathy (previous names: HIBM, DMRV, IBM2) regulation, animal models, modifier genes and therapeutics.
