Huntington Disease

UMLS: C0020179
Basic Information
Severity Level:
Critical
Based on 1 similar ADEs (max similarity: 0.422)
Definition:
A familial disorder inherited as an autosomal dominant trait and characterized by the onset of progressive CHOREA and DEMENTIA in the fourth or fifth decade of life. Common initial manifestations include paranoia; poor impulse control; DEPRESSION; HALLUCINATIONS; and DELUSIONS. Eventually intellectual impairment; loss of fine motor control; ATHETOSIS; and diffuse chorea involving axial and limb musculature develops, leading to a vegetative state within 10-15 years of disease onset. The juvenile variant has a more fulminant course including SEIZURES; ATAXIA; dementia; and chorea. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, pp1060-4)

The Introduction of Drug-AE Confidence Score Grade
Priority Level Score Range Description Evidence Characteristics
High Score ≥ 6.67
High-priority associations requiring immediate attention.
Strong evidence across multiple dimensions with high statistical significance, robust association measures, and substantial case numbers. Warrant priority pharmacovigilance action. High P-value scores (significant Adjust-P), Strong ROR/PRR values, Substantial case numbers, Complete dimensional coverage, Minimal data filtering needed.
Medium 3.33 ≤ Score < 6.67
Medium-priority associations requiring careful evaluation.
Moderate evidence quality with acceptable statistical significance and association strength. May need additional validation or monitoring before definitive action. Moderate P-value significance, Reasonable ROR/PRR measures, Adequate case numbers, Partial dimensional coverage, Some data quality considerations.
Low Score < 3.33
Low-priority associations with limited evidence strength.
May represent weak signals, insufficient data, or associations requiring extensive additional investigation before any regulatory or clinical consideration. Weak P-value significance, Low association measures, Limited case numbers, Incomplete dimensional data, Significant data filtering applied.

The Introduction of Drug-AE Severity Score Grade
Severity Level Score Range Description Typical outcomes
Minimal 0 ≤ Score ≤ 0.387
Low severity ADRs requiring minimal intervention.
Events that need medical attention to prevent permanent damage but without hospitalization or life-threatening consequences. Primarily RI (Required Intervention) outcomes, Outpatient management, Preventive measures, Early intervention prevents escalation.
Mild 0.387 < Score ≤ 0.861
Mild severity events requiring hospitalization.
Mix of intervention-required and hospitalization cases with manageable clinical outcomes and good recovery potential. Mix of RI and HO outcomes, Initial or prolonged hospitalization, Active medical management, Generally favorable prognosis.
Moderate 0.861 < Score ≤ 1.500
Moderate ADRs resulting in permanent disability.
Higher proportion of hospitalization and disability cases requiring intensive medical management and long-term care planning. Increased HO and DS outcomes, Permanent disability, Extended hospitalization, Rehabilitation required, Long-term functional impairment.
Severe 1.500 < Score ≤ 2.52
High severity life-threatening events with significant morbidity.
Notable presence of disability and life-threatening outcomes requiring emergency intervention and intensive care management. Prominent DS and LT outcomes, Life-threatening events, Emergency intervention required, ICU admission, High risk of permanent consequences.
Critical 2.524 < Score ≤ 5.000
Critical life-threatening or fatal ADRs with maximum clinical impact.
High proportion of life-threatening events and deaths with very strong drug-event associations requiring immediate regulatory action. Significant LT and DE outcomes, Fatal events, Emergency life-support measures, Immediate drug discontinuation, Regulatory safety alerts.
The Introduction of Drug-AE-Protein Confidence Score Grade
Confidence Level Relationships Description Evidence Types
Known/Valid Direct DTA relationships The drug-ADE, drug-target, and target-ADE associations are all derived from the same literature source. Experimental validation, Clinical evidence
High DT + TA + DA Two of the three associations (drug-ADE, drug-target, and target-ADE) are derived from the same literature source, while the third is validated by other literature. Multiple corroborating sources
Medium DT + TA + DA Two of the three associations (drug-ADE, drug-target, and target-ADE) are validated by separate literature sources. Partial evidence chain
Low TA + DT Only target-ADE and drug-target associations are validated by literature sources. Associative evidence only
