IEMbase phenotype signal

IEMbase represents PRICKLE3-related Leber hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON), with X-linked dominant inheritance. Characteristic clinical rows include loss of central vision, optic atrophy, and cardiac conduction deficits. Additional rows include ataxia and subacute demyelinating mixed motor-sensory neuropathy. The record has no biochemical or treatment rows.

DisMech phenotype coverage

There is no exact local DisMech target for PRICKLE3-related LHON. The generated Congenital_Insensitivity_to_Pain.yaml candidate is a false positive: the local CIP file is a phenotype-grouping/navigation entry for congenital absence of protective pain perception, not an optic neuropathy or mitochondrial disease entry.

The local corpus contains many Leber congenital amaurosis and optic-atrophy entries, plus a differential-diagnosis mention of LHON in Multiple_Mitochondrial_Dysfunctions_Syndrome_9B.yaml, but those are not disease-level PRICKLE3-LHON coverage.

Concordance and completeness

Judgement: true PRICKLE3-LHON local gap; reject the congenital-insensitivity-to- pain candidate.

The IEMbase disease is an inherited optic neuropathy with PRICKLE3 and conduction/neuropathy context. The generated candidate has a different disease axis, phenotype definition, and gene set.

Curation actions

  • Keep this record unmapped until a PRICKLE3-related LHON target exists.
  • Do not map to Congenital_Insensitivity_to_Pain.yaml.
  • Do not substitute Leber congenital amaurosis files; LHON and LCA are distinct optic/retinal disease classes.
  • If curated, include X-linked dominant inheritance, central vision loss, optic atrophy, conduction deficits, ataxia, and mixed motor-sensory neuropathy as review prompts.
