OMIA group 1472

Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis, 2

The chain reaches the human disease autosomal recessive spinocerebellar ataxia 7, which Mondo defines as: “Spinocerebellar ataxia autosomal recessive 7, also called SCAR7, is a slowly progressive hereditary form of spinocerebellar ataxia. Symptoms of SCAR7 can include difficulty walking and writing, speech difficulties (dysarthria), limb ataxia, and a decrease in the size of a region of the brain called the cerebellum (cerebellar atrophy). Of the few reported cases in the literature, some patients also had eye involvement that included nystagmus (in voluntary eye movements)and saccadic pursuit eye movements. Out of 5 affected siblings examined in a large Dutch family, 2 became wheelchair-dependent late in life. The severity of the symptoms varies from mild to severe. SCAR7 is caused by mutations in the TPP1 gene and is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner.” It reaches 1 more human disease, listed below.

    No ChEMBL drug acts on a human gene of the group's target evidence.

The chain stopped at Drugs: No ChEMBL drug acts on a human gene of the group's target evidence.

Natural-model score

How complete and how well supported the chain to each human disease is, out of 100, by stated rules. It does not say that the animal is a validated model of the human disease. How the score works.

Species

The chain follows only the species entries that OMIA marks as a defect.

Species Scientific name OMIA entry A defect
crab-eating macaque Macaca fascicularis OMIA:001472-9541 Yes
dog Canis lupus familiaris OMIA:001472-9615 Yes
pig Genetically engineered, not naturally occurring. Not counted in the score. Sus scrofa OMIA:001472-9823 Yes

Genes

Each gene OMIA records for a species entry, and the human gene it reaches through Ensembl's orthologs.

Human diseases

Two routes lead from an OMIA group to a Mondo human disease: OMIA's own Mondo link, and the group's OMIM numbers through Mondo's cross-references.

The two routes found some of the same diseases, but not all.

MONDO:0008769 neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis 2 A condition associated with mutation(s) in the TPP1 gene, encoding tripeptidyl-peptidase- 1. The condition is one of a group of genetically heterogeneous neurodegenerative disorders, characterized by accumulation of intracellular lipopigments. Both routes
