Summary
Lynch syndrome (MONDO:0005835) is a disease (an umbrella term covering 5 Mondo subtypes) caused by variants in EPCAM, MLH1, MSH2, and 2 other genes, with 15 cohort genes and 106 clinical trials. The dominant Reactome pathway is Mismatch Repair (4 cohort genes). Top therapeutic interventions include aspirin, atezolizumab, and leucovorin.

Pharmacogenomics
Cohort genes with a PharmGKB record: 15; with CPIC/DPWG dosing guidelines: 0.
No cohort gene has a CPIC/DPWG genotype-guided dosing guideline (PharmGKB).
Chemical tractability of cohort targets
24 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.
