Successful experience of tofacitinib treatment in patients with Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva
Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressive (FOP) is an ultra-rare genetic disorder that is caused by a mutation in the ACVR1 gene and provokes severe heterotopic ossification. Since flares of the disease are associate... (Source: Pediatric Rheumatology)

The terminal period findings of late-diagnosed fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva
Ger Med Sci. 2023 Jul 11;21:Doc12. doi: 10.3205/000326. eCollection 2023.ABSTRACTFibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) is an autosomal dominant rare disease characterized by foot deformities and concomitant heterotopic ossifications. Theoretically, in the absence of early diagnosis and medication, the patient's outcome will be poor. The patients are usually diagnosed at an early age. Hence, encountering a non-treated and terminal-period patient is rare. Our case was unique because it showed the clinical picture and atypical radiological distribution of a 20-year-old, terminally ill untreated female patient. She had h...
