A progressive translational mouse model of human valosin‐containing protein disease: The <i>VCP</i>^R155H/+ mouse

Abstract excerpt

INTRODUCTION: Mutations in the valosin-containing protein (VCP) gene cause hereditary inclusion body myopathy (IBM) associated with Paget disease of bone (PDB), and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). More recently, these mutations have been linked to 2% of familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) cases. A knock-in mouse model offers the opportunity to study VCP-associated pathogenesis. METHODS: The VCP(R155H/+)...
