Inclusion body myositis – pathomechanism and lessons from genetics
2015
Inclusion body myositis is a rare, late-onset myopathy. Both inflammatory and myodegenerative features play an important role in their pathogenesis. Overlapping clinicopathological entities are the famil- ial inclusion body myopathies with or without demen- tia. These myopathies share several clinical and patho- logical features with the sporadic inflammatory disease. Therefore, better understanding of the genetic basis and pathomechanism of these rare familial cases may advance our knowledge and enable more effective treatment options in sporadic IBM, which is currently considered a relentlessly progressive incurable disease.
