  • Title: [Genetic basis for skeletal disease. Establishment of novel treatments for fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP)].
    Author: Katagiri T.
    Journal: Clin Calcium; 2010 Aug; 20(8):1204-11. PubMed ID: 20675931.
    Abstract:
    Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder characterized by progressive heterotopic bone formation in skeletal muscle tissue. In patients with FOP, heterozygous mutations have been identified in the BMP type I receptor, ALK2. This finding stimulates establishment of some animal models of FOP and development of novel treatments for FOP.
