Functional comparison of human <scp>ACVR1</scp> and zebrafish Acvr1l <scp>FOP</scp>‐associated variants in embryonic zebrafish
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Background Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP), a rare disease characterized by progressive heterotopic ossification of muscle and connective tissues, is caused by autosomal dominant activating mutations in the type I receptor, ACVR1/ALK2. The classic human FOP variant, ACVR1R206H, shows increased bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling and activation by activins. Results Here, we performed in vivo functional characterization of human ACVR1R206H and orthologous zebrafish Acvr1lR203H using early embryonic zebrafish dorsoventral patterning as a phenotypic readout for receptor activity. Our results showed that human ACVR1R206H and zebrafish Acvr1lR203H exhibit functional differences in early embryonic zebrafish, and that human ACVR1R206H retained its signaling activity in the absence of a ligand‐binding domain (LBD). We also showed, for the first time, that zebrafish Acvr2ba/Acvr2bb receptors are required for human ACVR1R206H signaling in early embryonic zebrafish. Conclusions Together, these data provide new insight into ACVR1R206H signaling pathways that may facilitate the design of new and effective therapies for FOP patients.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
