Abstract

Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP), an extremely rare and catastrophic genetic disorder of progressive heterotopic ossification, is the most disabling condition of extraskeletal ossification known to mankind. It is also known as myositis ossificans progressiva. The incidence of FOP was estimated to be approximately 1 in 1.64 million (Connor and Evans 1982b).
