Also known as Fallot tetralogyTOFventricular septal defect with pulmonary stenosis or atresia, dextraposition of aorta, and hypertrophy of right ventricle
Summary
Tetralogy of fallot (MONDO:0008542) is a disease caused by variants in NKX2-5, KDR, and ZFPM2, with 28 cohort genes and 74 clinical trials. The dominant Reactome pathway is Cardiogenesis (5 cohort genes). Top therapeutic interventions include dexmedetomidine, calcium gluconate, and eplerenone.

Pharmacogenomics
Cohort genes with a PharmGKB record: 28; 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.
