GNE myopathy
MONDO:0011603Nonaka distal myopathy (described in Japan) and the quadriceps-sparing autosomal recessive inclusion body myopathy type 2 (IBM2; independently described in Iranian Jews and later in other Jewish and non-Jewish populations) constitute the same pathological entity, distinguished by the sparing of quadriceps.
Also known as: DMRV, HIBM2, IBM2, Nonaka myopathy, distal myopathy with rimmed vacuoles, distal myopathy, Nonaka type, hereditary inclusion body myopathy type 2, inclusion body myopathy autosomal recessive

Scientists hunt for clues to fatigue in Low-Platelet patients
Knowledge-focused Recruiting nowThis study looks for substances in the blood that might be linked to fatigue in people with low platelet counts (thrombocytopenia). Researchers think a protein called BDNF, which is stored in platelets, could play a role. They will measure BDNF levels in 280 patients and healthy …
