Cohort function summary
Lead sentence per gene, UniProt-curated.
| Symbol | Protein name | Function (lead sentence) |
|---|---|---|
| RUNX1 | Runt-related transcription factor 1 | Forms the heterodimeric complex core-binding factor (CBF) with CBFB. |
| SF3B1 | Splicing factor 3B subunit 1 | Component of the 17S U2 SnRNP complex of the spliceosome, a large ribonucleoprotein complex that removes introns from transcribed pre-mRNAs. |
| SRSF2 | Serine/arginine-rich splicing factor 2 | Necessary for the splicing of pre-mRNA. |
| TP53 | Cellular tumor antigen p53 | Multifunctional transcription factor that induces cell cycle arrest, DNA repair or apoptosis upon binding to its target DNA sequence. |
| U2AF1 | Splicing factor U2AF 35 kDa subunit | Plays a critical role in both constitutive and enhancer-dependent splicing by mediating protein-protein interactions and protein-RNA interactions required for accurate 3’-splice site selection. |
| ASXL1 | Polycomb group protein ASXL1 | Probable Polycomb group (PcG) protein involved in transcriptional regulation mediated by ligand-bound nuclear hormone receptors, such as retinoic acid receptors (RARs) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARG). |
| BCOR | BCL-6 corepressor | Transcriptional corepressor. |
| TET2 | Methylcytosine dioxygenase TET2 | Dioxygenase that catalyzes the conversion of the modified genomic base 5-methylcytosine (5mC) into 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) and plays a key role in active DNA demethylation. |
| DNMT3A | DNA (cytosine-5)-methyltransferase 3A | Required for genome-wide de novo methylation and is essential for the establishment of DNA methylation patterns during development. |
| EZH2 | Histone-lysine N-methyltransferase EZH2 | Catalytic subunit of the PRC2/EED-EZH2 complex, a Polycomb group (PcG) complex that methylates ‘Lys-9’ (H3K9me) and ‘Lys-27’ (H3K27me) of histone H3, leading to transcriptional repression of the affected target gene. |
| FLT3 | Receptor-type tyrosine-protein kinase FLT3 | Tyrosine-protein kinase that acts as a cell-surface receptor for the cytokine FLT3LG and regulates differentiation, proliferation and survival of hematopoietic progenitor cells and of dendritic cells. |
| IDH1 | Isocitrate dehydrogenase [NADP] cytoplasmic | Catalyzes the NADP(+)-dependent oxidative decarboxylation of isocitrate (D-threo-isocitrate) to 2-ketoglutarate (2-oxoglutarate), which is required by other enzymes such as the phytanoyl-CoA dioxygenase. |
| IDH2 | Isocitrate dehydrogenase [NADP], mitochondrial | Plays a role in intermediary metabolism and energy production. |

Pharmacogenomics
Cohort genes with a PharmGKB record: 13; with CPIC/DPWG dosing guidelines: 0.
No cohort gene has a CPIC/DPWG genotype-guided dosing guideline (PharmGKB).
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.
