Münchmeyer disease is a disorder in which muscle tissue and connective tissue such as tendons and ligaments are gradually replaced by bone, forming bone outside the skeleton that constrains movement. It is the only known medical condition where one organ system changes into another.

we can never have any cool mutations that give us abilities like exo-skeletons or rapid healing or something

I dated a girl about ten years ago whose cousin actually had this. He was in his 20s and basically already bedridden. The change to bone happens to areas that take damage, so you have to be incredibly careful or you end up like that a lot sooner. It's especially hard to deal with for kids/teens that just want to act like other kids their age.
