FARS2Phenylalanine–tRNA ligase, mitochondrialIs responsible for the charging of tRNA(Phe) with phenylalanine in mitochondrial translation.
MPC2Mitochondrial pyruvate carrier 2Mediates the uptake of pyruvate into mitochondria to maintain the balance between glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation.
SPG11SpatacsinMay play a role in neurite plasticity by maintaining cytoskeleton stability and regulating synaptic vesicle transport.
ARID1BAT-rich interactive domain-containing protein 1BInvolved in transcriptional activation and repression of select genes by chromatin remodeling (alteration of DNA-nucleosome topology).
COL4A1Collagen alpha-1(IV) chainType IV collagen is the major structural component of glomerular basement membranes (GBM), forming a ‘chicken-wire’ meshwork together with laminins, proteoglycans and entactin/nidogen.
CPT1ACarnitine O-palmitoyltransferase 1, liver isoformCatalyzes the transfer of the acyl group of long-chain fatty acid-CoA conjugates onto carnitine, an essential step for the mitochondrial uptake of long-chain fatty acids and their subsequent beta-oxidation in the mitochondrion.
GAREM2GRB2-associated and regulator of MAPK protein 2Probable adapter protein that may provide a link between cell surface epidermal growth factor receptor and the MAPK/ERK signaling pathway.
LMNAPrelamin-A/CLamins are intermediate filament proteins that assemble into a filamentous meshwork, and which constitute the major components of the nuclear lamina, a fibrous layer on the nucleoplasmic side of the inner nuclear membrane.
PTS6-pyruvoyl tetrahydrobiopterin synthaseInvolved in the biosynthesis of tetrahydrobiopterin, an essential cofactor of aromatic amino acid hydroxylases.

Pharmacogenomics

Cohort genes with a PharmGKB record: 9; 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.
