Cohort function summary
Lead sentence per gene, UniProt-curated.
| Symbol | Protein name | Function (lead sentence) |
|---|---|---|
| CPLANE1 | Ciliogenesis and planar polarity effector 1 | Involved in ciliogenesis. |
| TCTN3 | Tectonic-3 | Part of the tectonic-like complex which is required for tissue-specific ciliogenesis and may regulate ciliary membrane composition. |
| TMEM216 | Transmembrane protein 216 | Essential for primary ciliogenesis and embryonic development, facilitating the activation of Hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway. |
| OFD1 | Centriole and centriolar satellite protein OFD1 | Component of the centrioles controlling mother and daughter centrioles length. |
| KIAA0753 | Protein moonraker | Involved in centriole duplication. |
| FAM149B1 | Primary cilium assembly protein FAM149B1 | Involved in the localization of proteins to the cilium and cilium assembly. |
| KIF7 | Kinesin-like protein KIF7 | Essential for hedgehog signaling regulation: acts both as a negative and positive regulator of sonic hedgehog (Shh) and Indian hedgehog (Ihh) pathways, acting downstream of SMO, through both SUFU-dependent and -independent mechanisms. |
| PDE6D | Retinal rod rhodopsin-sensitive cGMP 3’,5’-cyclic phosphodiesterase subunit delta | Promotes the release of prenylated target proteins from cellular membranes. |

Drug target analysis
Approved (phase 4): 1 · Phase ≥3: 1 · Phased (≥1): 1 · Undrugged: 7
Druggability breadth: 2 of 8 evidence-associated genes (25%) have a ChEMBL target (buckets above are over the deeply-mined display cohort).
Genes with an approved drug
The molecule shown is one approved compound that hits the gene — not necessarily a drug of choice or one indicated for this disease.

Pharmacogenomics
Cohort genes with a PharmGKB record: 8; with CPIC/DPWG dosing guidelines: 0.
No cohort gene has a CPIC/DPWG genotype-guided dosing guideline (PharmGKB).
Chemical tractability of cohort targets
8 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.
| Compound | Max phase | Cohort target (bioactivity) |
|---|---|---|

| SILDENAFIL | 4 | PDE6D |
| TADALAFIL | 4 | PDE6D |
