Sporadic inclusion body myositis (S-IBM) is a progressive, acquired disease of unknown etiology. Prior studies have suggested neurogenic involvement based on electrophysiologic data, although the biopsy is compatible with a myopathic process. Quantitative electrophysiologic studies were performed in
A 10-year retrospective review was conducted to ascertain the prevalence of inclusion body myositis (IBM) in Western Australia. Seventeen patients with sporadic IBM aged 45-90 years were identified and the prevalence of IBM was calculated to be 9.3 Γ 10 -6 . The prevalence was higher in men (10.9 Γ
Susceptibility genes for human diseases (e.g., cancer and atherosclerosis) increase disease risk by altering the metabolic activation of exogenous (e.g., carcinogens) and endogenous (e.g., cholesterol) compounds. The function of these genes, and subsequent risk, can be adversely affected by polymorp
