Familial Inclusion Body Myositis:Evidence for Autosomal Dominant Inheritance
Neurol 42:897-902, Nevile,H.E.,et al, 1992
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
We report a kindred manifesting clinical features and muscle biopsy findings of inclusion body myositis(IBM).In this family,multiple members were affected in two generations with direct male-to-male and female-to- male transmission.This is the first reported instance of autosomal dominant inheritance in IBM,which usually occurs sporadically or,rarely, may be transmitted as an autosomal recessive disorder.
