Stiff skin syndrome
The chain reaches the human disease stiff skin syndrome, which Mondo defines as: “A rare syndrome characterized by hard, thick skin, usually on the entire body. The thickening of the skin can limit joint mobility and causes joints to be stuck in a bent position (flexion contractures). The onset of signs and symptoms can range from presenting at birth through childhood. Other signs and symptoms may include excessive hair growth (hypertrichosis), loss of body fat (lipodystrophy), scoliosis, muscle weakness, slow growth, and short stature. Weakness or paralysis of the eye muscles have also been reported. Stiff skin syndrome is caused by mutations (changes) in the FBN1 gene and is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner. Diagnosis is based on a clinical evaluation that is consistent with stiff skin syndrome, and the diagnosis can be confirmed with genetic testing. Treatment is based on the symptoms of each individual and may include physical therapy.”
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 1 species entry marked as a defect.
-
Human disease
Reached
1 Mondo disease.
-
Human gene
Stopped here
No gene of a species entry marked as a defect reaches a human gene through Ensembl's orthologs.
-
Target evidence

The chain stopped before this step.

The chain stopped before this step.
The chain stopped at Human gene: No gene of a species entry marked as a defect reaches a human gene through Ensembl's orthologs.
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.
9.0 out of 100
| Part | Computed from | Points |
|---|---|---|
| Target evidence | No Open Targets association with this disease | 0.0 of 35 |
| Drugs | No drug has been tested for this disease, and none acts on its genes | 0.0 of 25 |
| Ortholog | No gene of a naturally occurring entry reaches a human gene | 0.0 of 20 |
| Both routes | One route found this disease | 5.0 of 10 |
| Species | 1 naturally occurring species entry marked as a defect | 4.0 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:002018-9615 | 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. | |
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: OMIA links the group to no Mondo disease.
- OMIA's OMIM numbers: found a disease.

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.
