ACVR1 R206H receptor mutation causes fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva by imparting responsiveness to activin A
Open accessAbstract
In patients with fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva, the disease-causing mutation changes the ligand response profile of the ACVR1 receptor so that it is activated by the normally antagonistic ligand activin A.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?
The source backs part of the claim, not all of it — or backs it for a different population, condition or comparison.
In the citing paper
“as ActRIIA/B receptors mediate many diverse biologic processes by responding to over a dozen ligands23–25”

Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredThe source backs part of the claim, not all of it — or backs it for a different population, condition or comparison.
In the citing paper
“since these receptors mediate the diverse biologic actions of more than a dozen ligands23–25, there are potential concerns with broad ActRIIA/B blockade as an approach to maintain or increase muscle growth.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
