OMIA group 827

Myeloencephalopathy, progressive degenerative, PNPLA8-related

The chain reaches the human disease mitochondrial myopathy-lactic acidosis-deafness syndrome, which Mondo defines as: “Mitochondrial myopathy-lactic acidosis-deafness is a type of metabolic myopathy described only in two sisters to date, presenting during childhood, and characterized clinically by growth failure, severe muscle weakness, and moderate sensorineural deafness and biochemically by metabolic acidosis, elevated serum pyruvate concentration, hyperalaninemia and hyperalaninuria. There have been no further descriptions in the literature since 1973.”

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 2 species entries 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 0.73.

  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 0.73 25.6 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 2 naturally occurring species entries marked as a defect 7.0 of 10

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:000827-9615 Yes
domestic cattle Bos taurus OMIA:000827-9913 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 PNPLA8 patatin-like phospholipase domain containing 8 NCBI Gene 475880 PNPLA8 Ensembl one to one
domestic cattle PNPLA8 patatin like phospholipase domain containing 8 NCBI Gene 535496 PNPLA8 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.
