Genomic Context and Mechanisms of the ACVR1 Mutation in Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva [PDF]
Basic research in Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva (FOP) was carried out in the various fields involved in the disease pathophysiology and was important for designing therapeutic approaches, some of which were already developed as ongoing or planned

The Immunoregulatory and Hematopoietic Effects of Momelotinib in a Murine Bone Marrow Failure Model. [PDF]
Momelotinib, a selective smallāmolecule inhibitor of JAK1/2 and the bone morphogenic protein receptor kinase activin A receptor type I (ACVR1), exerts its effects by inhibiting the overactivation of the BMP/ACVR1/SMAD signaling pathway. This inhibition reduces hepcidin production in hepatocytes, and reduces inflammation, aberrant cytokine signaling ...

Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) is an ultra-rare genetic disorder characterized by progressive disabling heterotopic ossification (HO) at extra-skeletal sites. Here, we developed adeno-associated virus (AAV)-based gene therapy that suppresses

Global gene expression profiling of individual human oocytes and embryos demonstrates heterogeneity in early development [PDF]
Early development in humans is characterised by low and variable embryonic viability, reflected in low fecundity and high rates of miscarriage, relative to other mammals.

The role of the 3'UTR region in the regulation of the ACVR1/Alk-2 gene expression. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The ACVR1/Alk-2 gene, encoding a BMP type I receptor, is mutated in Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva, a severe form of heterotopic ossification. Regulation of ACVR1/Alk-2 expression, still poorly understood, is likely to be controlled by

Neofunction of ACVR1 in fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva [PDF]
SignificanceBy utilizing patient-specific induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) of fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) and gene-corrected (rescued) FOP-iPSCs, we discovered a novel mechanism in ectopic bone formation: The disease-causing mutation endows ACVR1 with the ability to transmit the signal of an unexpected ligand, Activin-A.

Variable signaling activity by FOP ACVR1 mutations [PDF]
Most patients with fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP), a rare genetic disorder of heterotopic ossification, have the same causative mutation in ACVR1, R206H. However, additional mutations within the ACVR1 BMP type I receptor have been identified in a small number of FOP cases, often in patients with disease of lesser or greater severity than ...

ACVR1 p.Q207E causes classic fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva and is functionally distinct from the engineered constitutively active ACVR1 p.Q207D variant [PDF]
Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) is a disabling genetic disorder of progressive heterotopic ossification (HO). Here, we report a patient with an ultra-rare point mutation [c.619C>G, p.Q207E] located in a codon adjacent to the most common FOP mutation [c.617G>A, p.R206H] of Activin A Receptor, type 1 (ACVR1) and that affects the same ...
