Bold print: cDNA or protein truncating variants; Italic print + dark gray highlight: ‘Mild’ variants; ?: exact nomenclature could not be extracted from the reference. The DNA numbering system is based on cDNA sequence. Nucleotide numbering uses +1 as the A of the ATG translation initiation codon in the reference sequence, with the initiation codon as codon 1.

1

Amino acid substitutions are provided in the previously used hGNE1 (NP_005467.1) and in the preferred new hGNE2 (NP_001121699.1) nomenclature [Huizing et al. 2014b]. For some variants, updated nomenclature is provided extracted from the reference.

2

Nucleotide variants are provided in the mRNA variant 1 nomenclature (NM_001128227.2; longest mRNA spliceform; encoding hGNE2 protein).

3

Exon numbering according to genomic sequence (NC_000009.12) and as indicated in Figure 1. in = intron.

4

See text for details about GNE protein domains; ep = UDP-GlcNAc 2-epimerase domain; ep-NES = nuclear export signal; ep-AR: allosteric region; UF = unknown function; kin = ManNAc kinase domain; UF epimerase.

5

Combined pathogenicity scores, see Supp. Table S1. Intronic variants with predicted splicing effects are listed as “splicing’, and without such effects as “splicing?”, see Supp. Table S2.
