Description

Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) is an ultra-rare genetic disorder characterized by abnormal bone development. Most babies with FOP appear normal and healthy at birth with one exception—the appearance of deformed big toes. Unfortunately, this common deformity can be attributed to other causes. This can result in a delay of years before a person is diagnosed with FOP properly. This educational webinar, hosted by Ellen Elias, MD, Professor, Pediatrics and Genetics, University of Colorado School of Medicine, and Christiaan Scott, MD, Professor of Medicine at the University of Ottawa, examines best practices to suspect and diagnose this ultra-rare condition.

This educational program is made possible by an unrestricted grant from the International Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva Association (IFOPA).
