1. A method of treating Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva (FOP) in a subject, comprising the step of administering to said subject a therapeutically effective amount of a siRNA specific against a nucleic acid encoding a mutated Activin A type I receptor (ACVR1) represented by SEQ ID NO: 21 relative to a nucleic acid encoding wild-type Activin A type I receptor protein (ACVR1) as set forth in SEQ ID NO: 26, wherein said siRNA has a passenger strand selected from SEQ ID NO: 56 or SEQ ID NO: 57. |
