  Inherited ossifying diseases are relatively uncommon diseases leading ta a great disability and life-threatening complications.
  Types
  Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva (FOP) FOP is characterized by the association of skeletal abnormalities mainly in great toes, and enchondral ossifications in tendons and muscles. BMP dysregulation seems to be the main underlying mechanism of the heterotopic ossifications. The genetic basis remain controversial between a mutation on chromosome 4 or (...)

  They are a group of inherited disorders caused by a lack of specific lysosomal enzymes involved in the degradation of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), or mucopolysaccharides. The accumulation of partially degraded GAGs causes interference with cell, tissue, and organ (...)
