The CNS pathology is characterized by a novel pattern of ubiquitin pathology distinct from sporadic and familial frontotemporal lobar degeneration with ubiquitin-positive inclusions (FTLD-U) without VCP mutations.
Mutations in the valosin-containing-protein (VCP) gene are associated with the multidisorder disease, inclusion body myopathy with Pagets and associated frontotemporal dementia.
The effects caused by these mutations strongly resemble those of pathological mutations of the AAA-ATPase p97 which cause the hereditary proteinopathy IBMPFD (inclusion body myopathy associated with Paget's disease of the bone and frontotemporal dementia).
Inclusion body myopathy with Paget disease of the bone and frontotemporal dementia (IBMPFD) is a multisystem degenerative disorder caused by mutations in the valosin-containing protein (VCP) gene.
The CNS pathology is characterized by a novel pattern of ubiquitin pathology distinct from sporadic and familial frontotemporal lobar degeneration with ubiquitin-positive inclusions without VCP mutations.
VCP mutations are the cause of inclusion body myopathy, Paget's disease of the bone, and frontotemporal dementia (IBMPFD) and they account for 1%-2% of familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
Inclusion body myopathy, Paget disease of bone and/or frontotemporal dementia is an autosomal dominant disease caused by mutations in the Valosin Containing Protein (VCP) gene.
Our study showed that valosin-containing protein/p97, the mutations of which lead to rare forms of Paget's disease of bone (PDB)-like syndrome-such as inclusion body myopathy (IBM) associated with Paget's disease of bone and frontotemporal dementia (IBM-PFD)-together with its adaptor nuclear protein localization (NPL)4, specifically interact with Smurf1 and deliver the ubiquitinated Smurf1 for degradation.
Inclusion body myopathy associated with Paget's disease of bone and frontotemporal dementia (IBMPFD) is a dominantly inherited degenerative disorder caused by mutations in the valosin-containing protein (VCP7) gene.
A set of mutations in p97 have been shown to cause the multisystem proteinopathy inclusion body myopathy associated with Paget's disease of bone and frontotemporal dementia.
Inclusion body myopathy (IBM) associated with Paget disease of the bone and frontotemporal dementia or IBMPFD is an autosomal dominant degenerative disorder caused by mutations in the valosin-containing protein (VCP) gene.
Therefore, we propose that hIBMPFTD p97/VCP mutants p97(R155P) and p97(A232E) possess structural defects that may compromise the mechanism of p97/VCP activity within large multiprotein complexes.
This study expands the genotypic spectrum of the missense mutations of the VCP gene with a novel p.Asn91Tyr variant found in a Brazilian family presenting with the unusual intrafamiliar association of myopathy with rimmed vacuoles, ALS and FTD.
Several elements support the pathogenic role of the R159CVCP gene mutation: the occurrence at the same codon of a different, previously identified pathogenic mutation within a VCP gene mutational hot-spot, the histopathological and biochemical evidence of muscle VCP accumulation and the combined clinical presentation of IBM and FTD.
Inclusion body myopathy associated with Paget disease of the bone and frontotemporal dementia (IBMPFD) is an autosomal dominant disorder which has been attributed to mutations in p97/VCP.
Similar to mutations in VCP, dominantly inherited mutations in SQSTM1 are now associated with rimmed vacuolar myopathy, Paget disease of bone, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and frontotemporal dementia.
In humans, mutations in VCP lead to severe myo- and neuro-degenerative disorders such as inclusion body myopathy with Paget disease of the bone and frontotemporal dementia (IBMPFD), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) or and hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP).
Two novel variations in VCP (p.Thr127Ala, c. 379A>G; p.Asn401Ser, c.1202A>G) were present in both a sporadic FTD and an AD case, and a novel deletion in GRN (560del p.Leufs) was found in a sporadic primary progressive aphasia patient.
