Mankind’s Rarest Disease
Meet a quite extraordinary little boy, who holds the cure to some of the world’s most common diseases. Zach was born on Australia Day – a beautiful smiling baby. The doctors gave him a clean bill of health, and for 18 months his parents thought everything was normal. But as they would discover, little Zach has perhaps the rarest disease known to man – a genetic condition called Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva, or FOP. There are less than 800 known sufferers worldwide. As he ages, the soft tissue Zach’s body is slowly morphing into a second skeleton. His muscles are turning to bone. Eventually, he will be frozen as stiff as a statue. He’s turning into a ‘human mannequin’. But Zach’s family haven’t given up hope. We speak to an expert who says once they identify what went wrong in little Zach’s body, they will have a cure to a range of bone diseases, such as osteoporosis, and eventually even be able to grow new limbs for amputees.
