Enhancer hijacking at the ARHGAP36 locus is associated with connective tissue to bone transformation

Abstract Heterotopic ossification is a disorder caused by abnormal mineralization of soft tissues in which signaling pathways such as BMP, TGFβ and WNT are known key players in driving ectopic bone formation. Identifying novel genes and pathways related to the mineralization process are important st...
