Valosin-containing protein (VCP) gene mutations have been associated with a rare autosomal dominant, adult-onset progressive disease known as multisystem proteinopathy 1 (MSP1), or inclusion body myopathy (IBM), Paget’s disease of bone (PDB), frontotemporal dementia (FTD), (IBMPFD), and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). We report the clinical and genetic analysis findings in five patients, three from the same family, with novel VCP gene variants: NM_007126.5 c.1106T>C (p.I369T), c.478G>A (p.A160T), and c.760A>T (p.I254F), associated with cardinal MSP1 manifestations including myopathy, PDB, and FTD. Our report adds to the spectrum of heterozygous pathogenic variants found in the VCP gene and the high degree of clinical heterogeneity. This case series prompts increased awareness and early consideration of MSP1 in the differential diagnosis of myopathies and/or PDB, dementia, or ALS to improve the diagnosis and early management of clinical symptoms.
