Summary
Atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor (MONDO:0020560) is a cancer with 5 cohort genes (5 CIViC-evidence somatic drivers; 3 ClinVar predisposition records) and 31 clinical trials. Molecularly, SMARCB1 Loss confers sensitivity to Tazemetostat in Atypical Teratoid Rhabdoid Tumor (CIViC Level B). Top therapeutic interventions include celecoxib, etoposide phosphate, and tazemetostat.

Bioactivity and enzyme data
Enzyme cohort genes (≥1 EC): 0.
Cohort genes with ChEMBL bioactivity (full, sorted by assay count)
| Symbol | Assays | Type breakdown |
|---|---|---|

Cohort genes with high screening signal
≥100 ChEMBL assays — a studied-ness signal; see Therapeutics for approved-drug status.

Pharmacogenomics
Cohort genes with a PharmGKB record: 5; with CPIC/DPWG dosing guidelines: 0.
No cohort gene has a CPIC/DPWG genotype-guided dosing guideline (PharmGKB).
Drug repurposing candidates
30 approved/phased drugs hit cohort targets but don’t yet appear in disease-level clinical trials. Target-inhibition rationale is strongest for cancer driver genes; a bioactivity hit is a screening signal, not a treatment claim.
