VCP disease
VCP disease refers to conditions caused by a mutation of the Valosin Containing Protein (VCP) gene. It is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner and primarily presents as an adult-onset condition affecting muscle, bone and brain.
Another term for VCP disease is Inclusion Body Myopathy associated with Paget’s Disease of Bone and Frontotemporal Dementia (IBMPFD). A person with IBMPFD may have one, two or all of the following:
- Inclusion Body Myopathy (IBM)
- Paget’s Disease of Bone (PDB)
- Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD)
While there is an approved treatment for Paget’s Disease of Bone, unfortunately there are no known treatments for Inclusion Body Myopathy or Frontotemporal Dementia.
