Pathway analysis

Distinct Reactome pathways touched by cohort: 205. Enrichment computed across 25 evidence-associated genes (22 with Reactome annotation).

Pathways by enrichment

Over-representation of cohort genes vs the genome-wide background (hypergeometric test, Benjamini-Hochberg FDR; fold = observed/expected over 22 annotated cohort genes). Counts and members are kept as ground-truth; sorted by enrichment.

Pharmacogenomics

Cohort genes with a PharmGKB record: 25; 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.
