Therefore, because heterotopic ossification (HO) in fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) is by far the disease\u2019s most prominent symptom, attention is also directed toward the pathways and processes of bone formation during skeletal development. FOP is recognizable by effects of the causative mutation on skeletal development even before HO manifests, specifically in the malformation of the great toes. This signature skeletal phenotype is the most highly penetrant, but is only one among several skeletal abnormalities associated with FOP. Patients may present clinically with joint malformation and ankylosis, particularly in the cervical spine and costovertebral joints, as well as characteristic facial features and a litany of less common, non-skeletal symptoms, all stemming from missense mutations in the ACVR1 gene. In the same way that studying the genetic cause of HO advanced our understanding of HO initiation and progression, insight into the roles of ACVR1 signaling during tissue development, particularly in the musculoskeletal system, can be gained from examining altered skeletal development in individuals with FOP. This review will detail what is known about the molecular mechanisms of developmental phenotypes in FOP and the early role of ACVR1 in skeletal patterning and growth, as well as highlight how better understanding these processes may serve to advance patient care, assessments of patient outcomes, and the fields of bone and joint biology.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/biom14081009","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,15]],"date-time":"2024-08-15T03:49:36Z","timestamp":1723693776000},"page":"1009","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Molecular Developmental Biology of Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva: Measuring the Giant by Its Toe"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8318-3943","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"O.
