Progressive osseous heteroplasia caused by a novel nonsense mutation in the GNAS1 gene.

Progressive osseous heteroplasia (POH), characterized by progressive heterotopic ossifications of the dermis, skeletal muscle and deep connective tissues, is caused by inactivating mutations of GNAS1 of a paternally transmitted allele. We report a novel GNAS1 mutation in a patient with POH. The patient is a 6-year-old boy, whose short stature came to medical attention in infancy. He was diagnosed with growth...
