OMIA group 2948

Adrenal hyperplasia, congenital, CYP21A2-related

The chain reaches the human disease classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency, which Mondo defines as: “The most common form of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), characterized by simple virilizing or salt wasting forms that can manifest with genital ambiguity in females and with adrenal insufficiency (in both sexes), and that presents with dehydration, hypoglycemia in the neonatal period (that can be lethal if untreated), and hyperandrogenia.”

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 0.83.

  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.

Part Computed from Points
Target evidence Open Targets score of 0.83 29.1 of 35
Drugs A drug has reached approved for this disease 25.0 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 0 naturally occurring species entries marked as a defect. 1 genetically engineered entry is not counted 0.0 of 10

Species

The chain follows only the species entries that OMIA marks as a defect.

Species Scientific name OMIA entry A defect
Japanese medaka Genetically engineered, not naturally occurring. Not counted in the score. Oryzias latipes OMIA:002948-8090 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.

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.
