Ganglioside GM3 levels are altered in a mouse model of HIBM: GM3 as a cellular marker of the disease.

<h4>Objective</h4>HIBM (Hereditary Inclusion Body Myopathy) is a recessive hereditary disease characterized by adult-onset, slowly progressive muscle weakness sparing the quadriceps. It is caused by a single missense mutation of each allele of the UDP-N-acetylglucosamine 2-epimerase/N-ac...
