Summary
Glioblastoma (MONDO:0018177) is a disease (an umbrella term covering 7 Mondo subtypes) with 42 cohort genes (1,099 GWAS associations across 6 studies) and 1,466 clinical trials. The dominant Reactome pathway is Constitutive Signaling by EGFRvIII (4 cohort genes). Molecularly, MGMT Promoter Methylation confers sensitivity to Temozolomide in Glioblastoma (CIViC Level A); 67 further subtype–drug associations are mapped below. Top therapeutic interventions include temozolomide, lomustine, and aminolevulinic acid.

Pharmacogenomics
Cohort genes with a PharmGKB record: 42; 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.
