Injury of Adult Zebrafish Expressing Acvr1lQ204D Does Not Result in Heterotopic Ossification.

Abstract excerpt

Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva (FOP) is a rare, autosomal dominant genetic disorder in humans characterized by the gradual ossification of fibrous tissues, including skeletal muscle, tendons, and ligaments. In humans, mutations in the Type I BMP/TGFβ family member receptor gene, ACVR1, are associated with FOP. Zebrafish acvr1l, previously known as alk8, is the functional ortholog of human ACVR1. We...
