OMIA group 2469

Retinopathy, RDH5-related

The chain reaches the human disease fundus albipunctatus, which Mondo defines as: “Fundus albipunctatus is a rare, genetic retinal dystrophy characterized by the presence of numerous small, round, yellowish-white retinal lesions that are distributed throughout the retina but spare the fovea. Patients present in childhood with non-progressive night blindness with prolonged cone and rod adaptation times. The macula may or may not be involved, which may result in a decrease of central visual acuity with age.”

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

    1 Mondo disease.

  3. Human gene

    Reached

    1 human gene.

  4. Target evidence

    Reached

    1 Open Targets association, with a best score of 0.84.

  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
domestic cat Felis catus OMIA:002469-9685 Yes

Genes

Each gene OMIA records for a species entry, and the human gene it reaches through Ensembl's orthologs.

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.
