Abstract Heterozygous mutations in the Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) type I receptor ACVR1 , encoding activin-like kinase 2 (ALK2), underlie all cases of rare genetic musculoskeletal disorder Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva (FOP). The most commonly found mutant ALK2 p.R206H variant exhibits loss auto inhibition BMP signaling and can be activated by Activins, while wild-type receptors remain unresponsive. Consequently, downstream chondrogenic is enhanced, thus driving heterotopic...
