Cohort function summary
Lead sentence per gene, UniProt-curated.
| Symbol | Protein name | Function (lead sentence) |
|---|---|---|
| DCLRE1C | Protein artemis | Nuclease involved in DNA non-homologous end joining (NHEJ); required for double-strand break repair and V(D)J recombination. |
| IL7R | Interleukin-7 receptor subunit alpha | Receptor for interleukin-7. |

| ADA | Adenosine deaminase | Catalyzes the hydrolytic deamination of adenosine and 2-deoxyadenosine. |
| CHD7 | ATP-dependent chromatin remodeler CHD7 | ATP-dependent chromatin-remodeling factor, slides nucleosomes along DNA; nucleosome sliding requires ATP. |
| IL2RG | Cytokine receptor common subunit gamma | Common subunit for the receptors for a variety of interleukins. |
| LIG4 | DNA ligase 4 | DNA ligase involved in DNA non-homologous end joining (NHEJ); required for double-strand break (DSB) repair and V(D)J recombination. |
| SUV39H2 | Histone-lysine N-methyltransferase SUV39H2 | Histone methyltransferase that specifically mediates trimethylation of ‘Lys-9’ of histone H3 (H3K9me3) using monomethylated H3 ‘Lys-9’ (H3K9me1) as substrate. |
| IFTAP | Intraflagellar transport-associated protein | Seems to play a role in ciliary BBSome localization, maybe through interaction with IFT-A complex. |

GO biological processes by enrichment
Over-representation of cohort genes vs the genome-wide background (hypergeometric test, Benjamini-Hochberg FDR; fold = observed/expected over 10 annotated cohort genes). Counts and members are kept as ground-truth; sorted by enrichment.

Pharmacogenomics
Cohort genes with a PharmGKB record: 10; with CPIC/DPWG dosing guidelines: 0.
No cohort gene has a CPIC/DPWG genotype-guided dosing guideline (PharmGKB).
Chemical tractability of cohort targets
3 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.

|---|---|---|
| PENTOSTATIN | 4 | ADA |
| AFAMELANOTIDE | 4 | ADA |
| COFORMYCIN | 2 | ADA |
