As of 2026-09-13Sodium channel protein type 9 subunit alpha shows late clinical disease relevance led by trigeminal neuralgia. 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 Q15858. Start with trigeminal neuralgia, then reuse UniProt Q15858 as the stable protein anchor across project notes and exports.
Sodium channel protein type 9 subunit alpha shows late clinical disease relevance led by trigeminal neuralgia. 5 more disease programs remain visible in the same review block. 1 linked drug remains visible in the same block.
Start review with trigeminal neuralgia because it currently carries late clinical support. Linked drugs include VIXOTRIGINE. This disease block keeps the Open Targets-ready contract explicit while current evidence comes from ChEMBL mechanism and indication mappings.
