Consider Rare: Suspecting and Diagnosing Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva (FOP)

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).To see the video, please visit https://checkrare.com/suspecting-and-diagnosing-fibrodysplasia-ossificans-progressiva-fop/ Rare Discussions is produced by CheckRare, the leading multimedia platform dedicated to advancing education, awareness, and innovation across the rare disease community.Explore additional physician interviews, podcasts, CME activities, and rare disease resources at CheckRare.com.Subscribe to the CheckRare Podcast Network for expert conversations, weekly news, accredited education, and the latest advances across the rare disease community.Part of the CheckRare Podcast Network: Trusted conversations, news, education, and expert insights across the rare disease community.
