Druggability
Not assessed (no mapped human gene target).
Type I vs Type II discrimination
ScoresLow-confidence (proxy)
R — rupture / Type-I67
C — confounder / Type-II49
A — assay feasibility40
E — evidence strength26
T1DI (composite)6
Specificity differential (R−C)+18.5
Confounder panel (Type-II drivers)
No confounder evidence retrieved.
Tier: light (literature co-occurrence proxy — lower confidence). See the discrimination table for all markers.
