Genetic aspects of fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva.
Complete ascertainment of fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva in the United Kingdom was attempted and 44 patients were identified. This indicates a point prevalence of 0.61 x 10(-6). The disease is determined as an autosomal dominant trait which has complete penetrance but variable expressivity. No evidence for genetic heterogeneity was found in this series. All patients represented fresh gen...
متن کاملFibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva: Clinical and Genetic Aspects
Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) is a severely disabling heritable disorder of connective tissue characterized by congenital malformations of the great toes and progressive heterotopic ossification that forms qualitatively normal bone in characteristic extraskeletal sites. The worldwide prevalence is approximately 1/2,000,000. There is no ethnic, racial, gender, or geographic predile...

Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) is a rare genetic disorder of the connective tissue characterized by progressive disability as a result of extensive extra skeletal enchondral bone formation and malformed big toes which are often monophalangic. Occasional features include short thumbs, fifth finger clinodactyly, malformed cervical vertebrae and mild mental retardation. Beginning duri...

Fibrodysplasia (myositis) ossificans progressiva (FOP) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder in which there is a progressive ectopic ossification and skeletal malformation, mainly in the connective tissue of muscle. The diagnosis is based on the clinical findings and radiological demonstration of the skeletal malformations. We report a 5 year-old female case with FOP.

Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva (FOP) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder characterized by postnatal progressive heterotopic ossification of connective tissue and congenital malformation of big toes. We report a 3-year male toddler with clinical and radiological features of FOP. He was born with bilateral hallux valgus and at the age of 3 years presented with hard swellings over back, s...
