fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva
a rare, progressive, fatal, autosomal dominant disorder caused by mutation of the ACVR1 gene (locus: 2q23-q24), which encodes a receptor that signals a specific transcriptional response related to growth and differentiation. It is characterized by extensive fibroblastic proliferation of various muscles and soft tissues followed by disabling ossification of skeletal muscles, tendons, fascia, and ligaments. Called also myositis ossificans progressiva.
