“…AHO is an autosomal dominant disorder of the skin, skeletal, and endocrine systems, with variable features that may include pseudohypoparathyroidism, multiple hormone resistance, obesity, brachydactyly (especially fourth and fifth metacarpals), short stature, round facies, and cutaneous and subcutaneous ossification (Table 1). (22–26,28,58–70) Although patients with POH do not show the developmental dysmorphologies and hormone resistance that commonly are associated with AHO, cutaneous and subcutaneous ossification of the skin in childhood is rare, and therefore the possibility that the heterotopic ossification in these two conditions might involve the same cellular pathways is a reasonable consideration.…”
