Frame the target before identity details

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

As of 2026-09-14

Alpha-synuclein shows clinical signal disease relevance led by Parkinson disease. 2 linked drugs keep the current disease frame grounded. Protein identity stays anchored to UniProt P37840. Start with Parkinson disease, then reuse UniProt P37840 as the stable protein anchor across project notes and exports.

Parkinson disease

Alpha-synuclein shows clinical signal disease relevance led by Parkinson disease. 2 linked drugs remain visible in the same block.

Start review with Parkinson disease because it currently carries clinical signal support. Linked drugs include CINPANEMAB, PRASINEZUMAB. This disease block keeps the Open Targets-ready contract explicit while current evidence comes from ChEMBL mechanism and indication mappings.
