Eileen Shore, Frederick Kaplan[edit]

  • ... that researchers Eileen Shore and Frederick Kaplan discovered the mutation responsible for a disease that turns muscle into bone? Source: "In pursuit of this mission, IFOPA was an early sponsor of the research behind a seminal discovery in 2006 that identified a single mutation in the activin A receptor type 1 (ACVR1/ALK2) gene as the culprit in FOP" (Meltan 2015)

General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: Yes
  • Interesting: Yes
  • Other problems: No - The article on Frederick Kaplan clearly describes what FOP is but the Eileen Shore article does not - a similar (but not identical) sentence to the one in the Kaplan article would help.
QPQ: Done.

Overall: The articles are new enough, long enough, well referenced with inline cites, no Copyvios detected. Images good. However, a better explanation of what FOP is should appear in the Shore article, not only to match the hook, but also for the general readability of the article. The FOP article could be improved (e.g. the diagnosis section is a single sentence, there are citations to a lot of primary sources when secondary are required as per WP:MEDRS) but the boldlinked articles seem fine so I don't think this matters too much. Note: I am a new reviewer so a second opinion is required. PeaBrainC (talk) 14:41, 5 March 2019 (UTC)

I have added a description of the disease to the Eileen Shore page. Enwebb (talk) 16:20, 5 March 2019 (UTC)
I have slightly reworded what you added. Think it looks good for DYK now. Now just need to wait for a second opinion.
