The fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva R206H ACVR1 mutation activates BMP-independent chondrogenesis and zebrafish embryo ventralization.

10 Oct 2009 Patients with classic fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva, a disorder characterized by extensive extraskeletal endochondral bone formation, share a recurrent mutation (R206H) within the glycine/serine-rich domain of ACVR1/ALK2, a bone ... Read more...

Ultrasound-guided ankle block in stone man disease, fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva.

30 Aug 2009 In this case report, we describe the successful use of ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia in progressive fibrodysplasia ossificans (stone man disease), a condition commonly regarded as a contraindication for regional anesthesia. A patient with ... Read more...

ACVR1 gene mutation in sporadic Korean patients with fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva.

10 Jun 2009 Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP; OMIM 135100) is a rare but extremely disabling genetic disorder of the skeletal system, and is characterized by the progressive development of ectopic ossification of skeletal muscles and subsequent joint ... Read more...
