“…FOP is the most severe disorder of heterotopic ossification and results in the postnatal formation of an ectopic skeleton (Cohen et al 1993;Kaplan et al 1993Kaplan et al , 2004. Heterotopic ossification in FOP begins in childhood and can be induced most often by trauma.…”

“…Heterotopic ossification in FOP begins in childhood and can be induced most often by trauma. The ossification is episodic and progressive, leading to extra-articular ankylosis of all major joints of the axial and appendicular skeleton (Cohen et al 1993;Kaplan et al 1993Kaplan et al , 2004, rendering movement impossible. Congenital malformation of the great toes is common.…”

“…5 Patients with classical FOP have congenital malformations that result in profoundly decreased mobility. 6,7 Recently, a recurrent heterozygous mutation in the ACVR1/ALK2 gene was identified by Shore et al 8 at 617 G-A, which causes an amino acid substitution of Arg to His at codon 206 (R206H) of the ALK2 receptor in both familial and sporadic patients with FOP. Because this mutation induced the activation of BMP constitutively, BMP inhibitors could offer therapeutic benefits for FOP.…”
