Summary
Autism spectrum disorder (MONDO:0005258) is a disease (an umbrella term covering 5 Mondo subtypes) caused by variants in DDX53 and GIGYF1, with 52 cohort genes (1,292 GWAS associations across 74 studies) and 1,517 clinical trials. The dominant Reactome pathway is Butyrophilin (BTN) family interactions (7 cohort genes). Top therapeutic interventions include cariprazine, buspirone, and bumetanide.

Pathway analysis
Distinct Reactome pathways touched by cohort: 585. Enrichment computed across 250 evidence-associated genes (156 with Reactome annotation).
Pathways by enrichment

Chemical tractability of cohort targets
30 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.
