Inclusion body myopathy with Paget disease of bone and frontotemporal dementia
MONDO:0000507Inclusion body myopathy with Paget disease of bone and frontotemporal dementia (IBMPFD) is a multisystem degenerative genetic disorder characterized by adult-onset proximal and distal muscle weakness (clinically resembling limb-girdle muscular dystrophy); early-onset Paget disease of bone, manifesting with bone pain, deformity and enlargement of the long-bones; and premature frontotemporal dementia, manifesting first with dysnomia, dyscalculia and comprehension deficits followed by progressive aphasia, alexia, and agraphia. As the disease progresses, muscle weakness begins to affect the other limbs and respiratory muscles, ultimately resulting in respiratory or cardiac failure.
Also known as: IBMPFD, inclusion body myopathy with early-onset Paget disease with or without frontotemporal dementia, inclusion body myopathy/Paget disease/frontotemporal dementia, limb-girdle muscular dystrophy with Paget disease of bone, pagetoid amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, pagetoid neuroskeletal syndrome, inclusion body myopathy with early-onset Paget disease and frontotemporal dementia

Biggest ALS gene study aims to unlock disease secrets
Knowledge-focused OngoingThis study looks at people with ALS and similar diseases like frontotemporal dementia and hereditary spastic paraplegia. Researchers want to understand how genes affect the disease and find biological markers (biomarkers) to help develop future treatments. About 708 participants,…
