Structured disease, protein, and project context should read before the lower-level identity rail.

As of 2026-09-14

Betaine-homocysteine S-methyltransferase shows approved-linked disease relevance led by homocystinuria. 5 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 Q93088. Start with homocystinuria, then reuse UniProt Q93088 as the stable protein anchor across project notes and exports.
