As of 2026-09-14

DNA polymerase catalytic subunit shows approved-linked disease relevance led by Herpes simplex infection. 5 more disease programs remain visible in the same review block. 7 linked drugs keep the current disease frame grounded. Protein identity stays anchored to UniProt P04293. Start with Herpes simplex infection, then reuse UniProt P04293 as the stable protein anchor across project notes and exports.

Disease program
Herpes simplex infection

DNA polymerase catalytic subunit shows approved-linked disease relevance led by Herpes simplex infection. 5 more disease programs remain visible in the same review block. 7 linked drugs remain visible in the same block.

Start review with Herpes simplex infection because it currently carries approved-linked support. Linked drugs include ACYCLOVIR, ACYCLOVIR SODIUM, CIDOFOVIR, FAMCICLOVIR. This disease block keeps the Open Targets-ready contract explicit while current evidence comes from ChEMBL mechanism and indication mappings.
