Summary
Neuroblastoma (MONDO:0005072) is a disease (an umbrella term covering 7 Mondo subtypes) with 66 cohort genes (119 GWAS associations across 13 studies) and 582 clinical trials. The dominant Reactome pathway is Glucuronidation (5 cohort genes). Molecularly, ALK R1275Q confers sensitivity to Crizotinib in Neuroblastoma (CIViC Level B); 23 further subtype–drug associations are mapped below. Top therapeutic interventions include irinotecan hydrochloride, isotretinoin, and dinutuximab.

Pathway analysis
Distinct Reactome pathways touched by cohort: 453. Enrichment computed across 66 evidence-associated genes (51 with Reactome annotation).
Pathways by enrichment
Over-representation of cohort genes vs the genome-wide background (hypergeometric test, Benjamini-Hochberg FDR; fold = observed/expected over 51 annotated cohort genes). Counts and members are kept as ground-truth; sorted by enrichment.

Pharmacogenomics
Cohort genes with a PharmGKB record: 65; with CPIC/DPWG dosing guidelines: 0.
No cohort gene has a CPIC/DPWG genotype-guided dosing guideline (PharmGKB).
Chemical tractability of cohort targets
29 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.
