Summary
familial long QT syndrome (MONDO:0019171) is a disease (an umbrella term covering 19 Mondo subtypes) caused by variants in CALM3 and TRDN, with 37 cohort genes (5 GWAS associations across 1 studies) and 66 clinical trials. The dominant Reactome pathway is Cardiac conduction (10 cohort genes). Top therapeutic interventions include ibutilide, progesterone, and dofetilide.

Pharmacogenomics
Cohort genes with a PharmGKB record: 35; 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.
