✖Disease ID: | 1177 | |
Name: | OTULIN-related autoinflammatory syndrome (ORAS) | |
Associated with: | 1 target |
Description |
A potentially fatal inherited autoimmune disease. Premature newborns display severe idiopathic inflammatory symptoms, developing repeated episodes of systemic inflammation (diarrhea, elevated serum C-reactive protein) without evidence of infection. The affected babies develop painful swollen joints, elevated immunoglobulin levels and serum autoantibodies. |

Where available, information is display on the role of the target in the disease; drugs which target the disease and their therapeutic use and side-effects.
If there is mutation data curated in GtoPdb this is indicated, with a link back to the appropriate section on the target detailed view page
Immuno ligand interactions - If available, a table of immuno-relevant ligands is shown. These ligands have been curated as having an association to the disease and possess interaction data with the target in GtoPdb. The approval status of the ligand is shown, along with curator comments and an indication of whether the target is considered the primary target of the ligand.

✖otulin | |
Role: | Faliure of otulin deubiquitinase activity results in spontaneous and uncontrolled immune system activation, leading to death if untreated. |
Drugs: | The anti-TNFα antibody infliximab resolves ORAS symptoms, although it is not yet approved for this condition (August 2016). It is approved as a therapy for other autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis and Crohn's disease. |
