OMIA group 284

Diabetes mellitus, type 2

The chain reaches the human disease type 2 diabetes mellitus, which Mondo defines as: “A type of diabetes mellitus that is characterized by insulin resistance or desensitization and increased blood glucose levels. This is a chronic disease that can develop gradually over the life of a patient and can be linked to both environmental factors and heredity.”

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 6 species entries marked as a defect.

  2. Human disease

    Reached

    1 Mondo disease.

  3. Human gene

    Reached

    2 human genes.

  4. Target evidence

    Reached

    2 Open Targets associations, with a best score of 0.70.

  5. Drugs

    Reached

    2 ChEMBL drugs, 1 approved. At least one 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.

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.

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.
