OMIA group 1795
Niemann-Pick disease, type A
The chain reaches the human disease Niemann-Pick disease type A, which Mondo defines as: “Niemann-Pick disease type A is a very severe subtype of Niemann-Pick disease, an autosomal recessive lysosomal disease, and is characterized clinically by onset in infancy or early childhood with failure to thrive, hepatosplenomegaly, and rapidly progressive neurodegenerative disorders.”
The chain
From the animal disease to the drugs. The page shows what each step found and where the chain stopped. It does not say whether the animal is a model of a human disease.
-
Animal disease
Reached
OMIA records it in 4 species entries marked as a defect.
-

Drugs
Stopped here
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.
70.0 out of 100
| Part | Computed from | Points |
|---|---|---|
| Target evidence | Open Targets score of 0.86 | 30.0 of 35 |
| Drugs | No drug has been tested for this disease, and none acts on its genes | 0.0 of 25 |
| Ortholog | One to one ortholog | 20.0 of 20 |
| Both routes | Both routes found this disease | 10.0 of 10 |
| Species | 4 naturally occurring species entries marked as a defect | 10.0 of 10 |
Species
The chain follows only the species entries that OMIA marks as a defect.
| Species | Scientific name | OMIA entry | A defect |
|---|---|---|---|
| dog | Canis lupus familiaris | OMIA:001795-9615 | Yes |
| domestic cat | Felis catus | OMIA:001795-9685 | Yes |
| domestic cattle | Bos taurus | OMIA:001795-9913 | Yes |
| raccoon | Procyon lotor | OMIA:001795-9654 | Yes |
Genes
Each gene OMIA records for a species entry, and the human gene it reaches through Ensembl's orthologs.
| Species | Animal gene | Human gene | Ortholog |
|---|---|---|---|
| dog | No gene | OMIA records no gene for this species entry. | |
| domestic cat | SMPD1 sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase 1, acid lysosomal NCBI Gene 101099497 | SMPD1 Ensembl | one to one |
| domestic cattle | No gene | OMIA records no gene for this species entry. | |
| raccoon | No gene | OMIA records no gene for this species entry. | |
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.
- OMIA's own Mondo link: found a disease.
- OMIA's OMIM numbers: found a disease.
| Mondo disease | Name | Found by |
|---|---|---|
| MONDO:0009756 | Niemann-Pick disease type A Niemann-Pick disease type A is a very severe subtype of Niemann-Pick disease, an autosomal recessive lysosomal disease, and is characterized clinically by onset in infancy or early childhood with failure to thrive, hepatosplenomegaly, and rapidly progressive neurodegenerative disorders. | Both routes |
Target evidence
Each Open Targets association between one of the group's human genes and one of its human diseases, with its overall score and the score for each kind of evidence.

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