OMIA group 2068
Dwarfism, B4GALT7-related
The chain reaches the human disease Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, spondylodysplastic type, 1, which Mondo defines as: “A form of spondylodysplastic Ehlers-Danlos syndrome due to variants in B4GALT7 and characterized by short stature, variable degrees of muscle hypotonia, joint hypermobility, especially of the hands, and bowing of limbs. Additional features include the typical craniofacial gestalt (mid-face hypoplasia, round, flat face, proptosis and narrow mouth), hyperextensible skin that is soft, thin, translucent and doughy, delayed motor and/or cognitive development, characteristic radiographic findings (such as radio-ulnar synostosis, radial head subluxation or dislocation, metaphyseal flaring and osteopenia) and ocular abnormalities.”
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
Reached
1 human gene.
-
Target evidence
Stopped here
None of the group's human diseases is in Open Targets.
-
Drugs
Not reached
The chain stopped before this step.
The chain stopped at Target evidence: None of the group's human diseases is in Open Targets.
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.
29.0 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 | One to one ortholog | 20.0 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| horse | Equus caballus | OMIA:002068-9796 | 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| horse | B4GALT7 xylosylprotein beta 1,4-galactosyltransferase, polypeptide 7 NCBI Gene 100058225 | B4GALT7 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.
- OMIA's own Mondo link: OMIA links the group to no Mondo disease.
- OMIA's OMIM numbers: found a disease.
| Mondo disease | Name | Found by |

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.
The chain did not reach target evidence.
