OMIA group 1952

Microtia

The chain reaches the human disease microtia, which Mondo defines as: “A congenital malformation of the external ear, seen more frequently in males, that occurs sporadically or is inherited, that is characterized by unilateral (79-93% of cases, 60% of which involve the right ear) or bilateral small and abnormally shaped auricles and that is often associated with atresia or stenosis of the ear canal, attention deficit disorders and delayed language development. The variation in auricle size ranges from grade I, where the auricle is simply smaller than normal, to grade IV, also known as anotia, where there is a complete absence of the external ear and of the auditory canal.” It reaches 1 more human disease, listed below.

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.

  1. Animal disease

    Reached

    OMIA records it in 2 species entries marked as a defect.

  2. Human disease

    Reached

    2 Mondo diseases.

  3. Human gene

    Reached

    2 human genes.

  4. Target evidence

    Reached

    4 Open Targets associations, with a best score of 0.76.

  5. 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.

Species

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

Species Scientific name OMIA entry A defect
pig Sus scrofa OMIA:001952-9823 Yes
sheep Ovis aries OMIA:001952-9940 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
pig HOXA1 homeobox A1 NCBI Gene 100520162 HOXA1 Ensembl one to one
sheep HMX1 H6 family homeobox 1 NCBI Gene 106991217 HMX1 Ensembl one to one

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.

MONDO:0012802 oculoauricular syndrome Oculoauricular syndrome, Schorderet type is a rare, genetic developmental defect during embryogenesis characterized by various ophthalmic anomalies (including congenital microphthalmia, microcornea, cataract, anterior segment dysgenesis, ocular coloboma and early onset rod-cone dystrophy), and abnormal external ears (low-set pinna with crumpled helix, narrow intertragic incisure, abnormal bridge connecting the crus of the helix and the anthelix, narrow external acoustic meatus, and lobule aplasia).
