Your Contribution Makes a Difference
The FOP Registry is the largest and most detailed collection of clinical and medical information about FOP and those who are living with the disease – and it’s built by people like you.
The FOP Registry collects information on how FOP affects people for an important purpose: to help clinicians and researchers better understand FOP in order to improve clinical care and speed the development and availability of disease-changing treatments, and one day, a cure.
It Takes All of Us
The best part about this database is that it's growing every day. That's because people like you from around the world, and their FOP physicians, are contributing to it.
Our Sponsors
We are grateful for the support of our sponsors: Blueprint Medicines, Clementia, an Ipsen Company, and Regeneron Pharmaceuticals.
Our Advisory Boards

Who Can Participate?
The FOP Registry is open to anyone with FOP. The information can either be provided by the person living with FOP or their caregiver - someone who can provide detailed information about symptoms, flares and doctor visits.
You enter this information on a dedicated website. It's secure and simple, and only anonymous information (without your name or contact information) is ever shared with researchers.
Ready to Get Started?
Start by going to the FOP Registry website at FOPregistry.org and click the Join Now link.
- You'll be asked to gather some information and complete the enrollment survey.
- Be sure to give yourself 30-60 minutes for this first step.
- After completing the Enrollment Survey, you'll be sent a reminder every 6 months to sign back in and fill out a new Follow-Up Survey.

Your Participation Matters
The FOP Registry is the largest database on FOP in the world— because of people like you who take part and contribute their information.
By taking part in the FOP Registry, you:
- Help grow the knowledge about FOP
- Contribute to helping find effective treatments and possibly a cure
- Help doctors better understand FOP and improve patient care
- Take part in something that directly benefits the entire FOP community
The key value of the FOP Registry is that data is collected over a long period of time. That means the information shows the way FOP affects people over time. This is critical to better understanding FOP, which helps researchers, doctors and drug developers—and ultimately, people living with the disease.
