Progressive osseous heteroplasia (POH; OMIM #166350) • Rare genetic condition of progressive heterotopic bone formation • Defined clinically by cutaneous ossification that progresses to involve deep connective tissues including skeletal muscle and fascia [Kaplan et al., 1994] • Most cases are caused by heterozygous inactivating germline mutations in the GNAS gene that encodes the alpha subunit of the G-stimulatory protein of adenylyl cyclase [Shore et al., 2002]

The presence of heterotopic ossification was common to all presentations and excluded here. cAn endocrine evaluation included a survey of calcium, phosphorus, TSH, and intact PTH blood levels. Two POH patients had endocrine abnormalities: one had a high TSH, and another had high calcium and phosphate levels. One POH/AHO patient had a high phosphate level. All POH/PHP 1a/1c patients had PTH resistance or PTH and thyroid hormone resistance. Differences found to be statistically significant when compared to POH are d p < 0.0001, e p = 0,0002.

Low birth weight in patients with POH Shown are birth weights from 13 patients with POH. Three of 4 males and 7 of 9 females had measurements at or below the fifth percentile. Birth weights are plotted onto normative growth charts for sex-matched cohorts born in United States (Kuczmarski RJ, Ogden CL, Guo SS, et al. 2000 CDC growth charts for the United States: methods and development.

Summary • Unlike other GNAS-based disorders of HO, POH occurs in the absence of obesity and multiple other features of AHO or hormone resistance • Impaired bone-fat reciprocity in soft tissue promotes osteogenesis and antagonizes adipogenesis in POH • GNAS is a key factor which regulates cell fate decisions in adipose-derived stem cells
