Published results from the IBMPFD-ALS study

This study demonstrated, for the first time, that patients with IBMPFD (inclusion body myopathy with Paget’s disease and frontotemporal dementia), may also show clinical evidence of motor neuron disease (including ALS).

These observations, combined with parallel discoveries about the underlying biology of this disease, led us to propose the term multisystem proteinopathy (MSP) as a more suitable name for this complex clinical syndrome.
