OMIA group 2459

Congenital muscular dystrophy, LAMA2-related

The chain reaches the human disease congenital merosin-deficient muscular dystrophy 1A, which Mondo defines as: “Congenital muscular dystrophy type 1A (MCD1A) belongs to a group of neuromuscular disorders with onset at birth or infancy characterized by hypotonia, muscle weakness and muscle wasting.” 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 1 species entry marked as a defect.

  2. Human disease

    Reached

    2 Mondo diseases.

  3. Human gene

    Reached

    1 human gene.

  4. Target evidence

    Reached

    2 Open Targets associations, with a best score of 0.82.

  5. Drugs

    Reached

    1 ChEMBL drug, 1 approved. None has been tested for this disease.

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
dog Canis lupus familiaris OMIA:002459-9615 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 LAMA2 laminin subunit alpha 2 NCBI Gene 100683420 LAMA2 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 disease Name Found by
MONDO:0011925 congenital merosin-deficient muscular dystrophy 1A Congenital muscular dystrophy type 1A (MCD1A) belongs to a group of neuromuscular disorders with onset at birth or infancy characterized by hypotonia, muscle weakness and muscle wasting. OMIA's OMIM numbers
MONDO:0029136 muscular dystrophy, limb-girdle, autosomal recessive 23 OMIA's OMIM numbers

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.

Human gene Human disease Score Evidence Kinds of evidence
LAMA2 congenital merosin-deficient muscular dystrophy 1A 0.82 1,125 Genetic association 0.91 Genetic literature 0.84 Animal model 0.55 Literature 0.24

Drugs

Drugs act on LAMA2, but none has been tested for this disease.
