" /> Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva - CISMeF





Preferred Label : Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva;

Symbol : FOP;

CISMeF acronym : FOP;

Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;

Description : Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva is a rare autosomal dominant disease with complete penetrance involving progressive ossification of skeletal muscle, fascia, tendons, and ligaments. FOP has a prevalence of approximately 1 in 2 million worldwide, and shows no geographic, ethnic, racial, or gender preference. Individuals with FOP appear normal at birth except for great toe abnormalities: the great toes are short, deviated, and monophalangic. Ossification occurs progressively over the course of a lifetime in an inevitable and unpredictable episodic manner, with most patients being confined to a wheelchair by the third decade of life and requiring lifelong care (summary by Petrie et al., 2009).;

Inheritance : Autosomal dominant;

Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the activin A receptor, type I gene (ACVR1, 102576.0001);

Prefixed ID : #135100;
