Abstract

Inclusion body myopathy associated with Paget disease of bone and frontotemporal dementia (IBMPFD) is a dominant progressive disorder that maps to chromosome 9p21.1-p12. We investigated 13 families with IBMPFD linked to chromosome 9 using a candidate-gene approach. We found six missense mutations in the gene encoding valosin-containing protein (VCP, a member of the AAA-ATPase superfamily) exclusively in all 61 affected individuals. Haplotype analysis indicated that descent from two founders in two separate North American kindreds accounted for IBMPFD in approximately 50% of affected families. VCP is associated with a variety of cellular activities, including cell cycle control, membrane fusion and the ubiquitin-proteasome degradation pathway. Identification of VCP as causing IBMPFD has important implications for other inclusion-body diseases, including myopathies, dementias and Paget disease of bone (PDB), as it may define a new common pathological ubiquitin-based pathway.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • p97/VCP mutation is directly linked to human neuromuscular diseases like Inclusion Body Myopathy, Frontotemporal dementia, and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis.

    “The relevance of mitochondrial retrotranslocation mechanism in quality control has been demonstrated by the direct link between p97/VCP mutation and human neuromuscular diseases, like Inclusion Body Myopathy, Frontotemporal dementia and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis [171, 172].”
  • Mutations in VCP most commonly lead to the combined disorder of inclusion body myopathy, Paget disease of the bone, and FTD (IBMPFD).

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
