  1. The “mouse trait” column is based on the Mouse Genome Informatics47. The “therapeutic/clinical evidence” column is based on the Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man50 and Therapeutic Target Database53. Drugs are identified with an asterisk ("*”). Trait abbreviations are defined in Supplementary Table 1. GEJ: gastroesophageal junction. CS: cardiovascular system. DS: digestive/alimentary system. Metab.: metabolism. NS: nervous system. APS1: autoimmune polyendocrinopathy syndrome-1. GFND2: glomerulopathy with fibronectin deposits-2. SMDCF: corner fracture type of spondylometaphyseal dysplasia. ATFB10: familial atrial fibrillation-10. DEE39: developmental and epileptic encephalopathy-39.
