CSF3RGranulocyte colony-stimulating factor receptorReceptor for granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (CSF3), essential for granulocytic maturation.
DNMT3ADNA (cytosine-5)-methyltransferase 3ARequired for genome-wide de novo methylation and is essential for the establishment of DNA methylation patterns during development.
NOTCH1Neurogenic locus notch homolog protein 1Functions as a receptor for membrane-bound ligands Jagged-1 (JAG1), Jagged-2 (JAG2) and Delta-1 (DLL1) to regulate cell-fate determination.
PTPN11Tyrosine-protein phosphatase non-receptor type 11Acts downstream of various receptor and cytoplasmic protein tyrosine kinases to participate in the signal transduction from the cell surface to the nucleus.

Drug repurposing candidates

9 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.
