Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is defined in the MONDO ontology as an acquired clonal hematopoietic stem cell disorder characterized by corpuscular hemolytic anemia, bone marrow failure, and frequent thrombotic events. Listed synonyms include Marchiafava-Micheli disease and paroxysmal hemoglobinuria. A prevalence category of UNCOMMON, approximately 1 to 9 per 100,000, is recorded; the packet does not specify the prevalence measure type.
The MONDO definition names corpuscular hemolytic anemia, bone marrow failure, and frequent thrombotic events as the characteristic features. Structured phenotype annotations, frequency terms, and age of onset are not certified in this packet.
The MONDO definition describes PNH as an acquired clonal hematopoietic stem cell disorder. No causative genes and no inheritance pattern are certified in this packet, so no genetic cause or mode of inheritance is described here. The packet's synonym list contains both acquired and hereditary or inherited labels, and two subtype entries, paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria 1 and paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria 2, are recorded.
Diagnostic methods, diagnostic criteria, and newborn screening information are not certified in this packet, so no diagnostic approach is described here.
The FDA records in this packet list, with ACTIVE market status, EPYSQLI (eculizumab-aagh), BKEMV (eculizumab-aeeb), SOLIRIS (eculizumab), ULTOMIRIS (ravulizumab), PIASKY (crovalimab), VOYDEYA (danicopan), FABHALTA (iptacopan), and EMPAVELI (pegcetacoplan). The orphan drug records list Soliris, Ultomiris, Piasky, Voydeya, Fabhalta, and Empaveli as APPROVED for treatment of PNH. A further FDA entry, SYFOVRE (pegcetacoplan), has no indication stated in the packet and is not described here as a PNH treatment. Several additional agents, including cemdisiran, pozelimab, and nomacopan, hold orphan drug designation for PNH, which is a designation and not an approval, and two designation records are marked WITHDRAWN. Foundational therapies and GeneReviews management text are not certified in this packet.
