As of 2026-09-14

Ornithine decarboxylase shows approved-linked disease relevance led by Hirsutism. 2 more disease programs remain visible in the same review block. 1 linked drug keeps the current disease frame grounded. Protein identity stays anchored to UniProt P11926. Start with Hirsutism, then reuse UniProt P11926 as the stable protein anchor across project notes and exports.

Disease program
Hirsutism

Ornithine decarboxylase shows approved-linked disease relevance led by Hirsutism. 2 more disease programs remain visible in the same review block. 1 linked drug remains visible in the same block.

Start review with Hirsutism because it currently carries approved-linked support. Linked drugs include EFLORNITHINE HYDROCHLORIDE. This disease block keeps the Open Targets-ready contract explicit while current evidence comes from ChEMBL mechanism and indication mappings.
