| SEMA3E | Semaphorin-3E | Plays an important role in signaling via the cell surface receptor PLXND1. |
| SRA1 | Steroid receptor RNA activator 1 | Functional RNA which acts as a transcriptional coactivator that selectively enhances steroid receptor-mediated transactivation ligand-independently through a mechanism involving the modulating N-terminal domain (AF-1) of steroid receptors. |
| TACR3 | Neuromedin-K receptor | Receptor for the tachykinin neuromedin-K (neurokinin B), also able to bind and respond to tachynins substance K/neurokinin A and substance P. |
| WDR11 | WD repeat-containing protein 11 | Involved in the Hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway, is essential for normal ciliogenesis. |
| KLB | Beta-klotho | Contributes to the transcriptional repression of cholesterol 7-alpha-hydroxylase (CYP7A1), the rate-limiting enzyme in bile acid synthesis. |
| SPRY4 | Protein sprouty homolog 4 | Suppresses the insulin receptor and EGFR-transduced MAPK signaling pathway, but does not inhibit MAPK activation by a constitutively active mutant Ras. |
| PHIP | PH-interacting protein | Probable regulator of the insulin and insulin-like growth factor signaling pathways. |

Pharmacogenomics
Cohort genes with a PharmGKB record: 40; 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.
