Lead sentence per gene, UniProt-curated.

SymbolProtein nameFunction (lead sentence)
BCL7CB-cell CLL/lymphoma 7 protein family member CMay play an anti-apoptotic role.
SMARCD3SWI/SNF-related matrix-associated actin-dependent regulator of chromatin subfamily D member 3Involved in transcriptional activation and repression of select genes by chromatin remodeling (alteration of DNA-nucleosome topology).
SRP54Signal recognition particle subunit SRP54Component of the signal recognition particle (SRP) complex, a ribonucleoprotein complex that mediates the cotranslational targeting of secretory and membrane proteins to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER).
CBX7Chromobox protein homolog 7Component of a Polycomb group (PcG) multiprotein PRC1-like complex, a complex class required to maintain the transcriptionally repressive state of many genes, including Hox genes, throughout development.
RB1CC1RB1-inducible coiled-coil protein 1Involved in autophagy.
ULK4Serine/threonine-protein kinase ULK4May be involved in the remodeling of cytoskeletal components, such as alpha-tubulin, and in this way regulates neurite branching and elongation, as well as cell motility.
CCND1G1/S-specific cyclin-D1Regulatory component of the cyclin D1-CDK4 (DC) complex that phosphorylates and inhibits members of the retinoblastoma (RB) protein family including RB1 and regulates the cell-cycle during G(1)/S transition.
RNF40E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase BRE1BComponent of the RNF20/40 E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex that mediates monoubiquitination of ‘Lys-120’ of histone H2B (H2BK120ub1).
SRCAPChromatin remodeling protein SRCAPActs both as a chromatin remodeler and transcription coregulator.
TNFRSF13BTumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 13BReceptor for TNFSF13/APRIL and TNFSF13B/TALL1/BAFF/BLYS that binds both ligands with similar high affinity.
PRR14Proline-rich protein 14Functions in tethering peripheral heterochromatin to the nuclear lamina during interphase, possibly through the interaction with heterochromatin protein CBX5/HP1 alpha.
ALKAL1ALK and LTK ligand 1Cytokine that acts as a physiological ligand for receptor tyrosine kinase LTK, leading to its activation.
NBEANeurobeachinBinds to type II regulatory subunits of protein kinase A and anchors/targets them to the membrane.
PLA2G2APhospholipase A2, membrane associatedSecretory calcium-dependent phospholipase A2 that primarily targets extracellular phospholipids with implications in host antimicrobial defense, inflammatory response and tissue regeneration.

Pharmacogenomics

Cohort genes with a PharmGKB record: 15; with CPIC/DPWG dosing guidelines: 0.

No cohort gene has a CPIC/DPWG genotype-guided dosing guideline (PharmGKB).

Chemical tractability of cohort targets

29 approved/phased compounds have measured bioactivity against a cohort gene (and aren’t yet in disease-level trials). This is a research / tractability signal, NOT a therapeutic recommendation — a bioactivity row often reflects off-target or screening binding (e.g. promiscuous kinase inhibitors against a cohort kinase), implying no disease mechanism.
