ABSTRACT
Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) is an ultrarare condition and one of the most impactful disorders associated with progressive heterotopic ossification events. It is estimated that there are 120-150 patients in Brazil; however, currently, fewer than 100 patients have been identified, and the role of a FOP advocacy group (FOP Brazil) has been instrumental for the identification and follow-up of these individuals and families. The aim of this article is to summarize the current status of FOP in Brazil and describe strategies proposed to approach this challenge in a continental size country.
