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);
