Brief Summary

The investigators are researching families with inherited inclusion body myopathy (IBM) and/or Paget disease of bone (PDB) and/or dementia (FTD) which is also called IBMPFD. IBMPFD is caused by mutations in the VCP gene. Our main goal is to understand how changes in the VCP gene cause the muscle, bone and cognitive problems associated with the disease. The investigators are collecting biological specimen such as blood and urine samples, family and medical histories, questionnaire data of patients with a personal or family history of VCP associated disease. Participants do not need to have all symptoms listed above in order to qualify. A select group of participants may be invited to travel to University of California, Irvine for a two day program of local procedures such as an MRI and bone scan. Samples are coded to maintain confidentiality. Travel is not necessary except for families invited for additional testing.

Conditions

• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: Yes
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
• Sampling Method: Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Individuals with a personal or family history of VCP associated disease.

You may qualify if:

• Muscle disorders considered include:
• Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy
• Myopathy
• FSH (Facioscapular muscular dystrophy) without the mutation
• Scapuloperoneal muscular dystrophy

• Subjects must to 18 years or older

You may not qualify if:

• Under the age of 18.
• Individuals who report a different unrelated diagnosis will be excluded from the study. Testing to confirm different diagnoses will not be performed, instead patient will be questioned for this information and records will be obtained for confirmation of appropriate testing.
• Those who are unable to provide consent for themselves will be excluded from participating in the study.
