|---|---|---|
| LDB1 | LIM domain-binding protein 1 | Binds to the LIM domain of a wide variety of LIM domain-containing transcription factors. |
| SGCD | Delta-sarcoglycan | Component of the sarcoglycan complex, a subcomplex of the dystrophin-glycoprotein complex which forms a link between the F-actin cytoskeleton and the extracellular matrix. |
| SMARCC1 | SWI/SNF complex subunit SMARCC1 | Involved in transcriptional activation and repression of select genes by chromatin remodeling (alteration of DNA-nucleosome topology). |
| RANBP17 | Ran-binding protein 17 | May function as a nuclear transport receptor. |

| TRIM71 | E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase TRIM71 | E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase that cooperates with the microRNAs (miRNAs) machinery and promotes embryonic stem cells proliferation and maintenance. |
| FGF18 | Fibroblast growth factor 18 | Plays an important role in the regulation of cell proliferation, cell differentiation and cell migration. |
| MPDZ | Multiple PDZ domain protein | Member of the NMDAR signaling complex that may play a role in control of AMPAR potentiation and synaptic plasticity in excitatory synapses. |
| PTCH1 | Protein patched homolog 1 | Acts as a receptor for sonic hedgehog (SHH), indian hedgehog (IHH) and desert hedgehog (DHH). |

Pharmacogenomics
Cohort genes with a PharmGKB record: 11; with CPIC/DPWG dosing guidelines: 0.
No cohort gene has a CPIC/DPWG genotype-guided dosing guideline (PharmGKB).
Chemical tractability of cohort targets
1 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.
