Summary
Severe combined immunodeficiency (MONDO:0015974) is a disease (an umbrella term covering 11 Mondo subtypes) caused by NUDCD3 (GenCC Strong), with 36 cohort genes and 44 clinical trials. The dominant Reactome pathway is Translocation of ZAP-70 to Immunological synapse (6 cohort genes). Top therapeutic interventions include alemtuzumab, busulfan, and dextrose.

Pharmacogenomics
Cohort genes with a PharmGKB record: 35; 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.
