Abstract

—Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva (FOP) is an ultra-rare genetic disorder characterized by heterotopic ossification of connective tissues and progressive loss of mobility. FOP is caused by mutations in the ACVR1 gene, leading to abnormal bone formation in muscles, tendons, and ligaments. This review explores the clinical features, genetic basis, pathophysiology, current management, and future directions for research and therapy
