Abstract

Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) is a very rare devastating heterotopic ossification disorder, classically caused by a heterozygous single point mutation (c.617G>A) in the ACVR1gene, encoding the Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) type I receptor, also termed activin receptor-like kinase (ALK)2. FOP patients develop heterotopic ossification episodically in response to inflammatory insults, thereby compromising tissue sampling and the development of in vitro surrogate models for FOP. Here we describe the generation and characterization of a control and a classical FOP induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line derived from periodontal ligament fibroblast cells using Sendai virus vectors.
