When all participants were stratified into quartiles based on their baseline serum Neu5Ac concentrations, participants with higher Neu5Ac levels tended to be hemorrhagic-type MMD patients and had higher levels of LY count, Cr, TC, LDL-C, and ApoB (p < 0.05 for all, Table 4). The gene discussed is APOB; the disease is multiminicore myopathy.
