Cohort function summary
Lead sentence per gene, UniProt-curated.
| Symbol | Protein name | Function (lead sentence) |
|---|---|---|
| WAS | Actin nucleation-promoting factor WAS | Effector protein for Rho-type GTPases that regulates actin filament reorganization via its interaction with the Arp2/3 complex. |
| WIPF1 | WAS/WASL-interacting protein family member 1 | Plays a role in the reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton. |
| WRN | Bifunctional 3’-5’ exonuclease/ATP-dependent helicase WRN | Multifunctional enzyme that has magnesium and ATP-dependent 3’-5’ DNA-helicase activity on partially duplex substrates. |
| CCNB3 | G2/mitotic-specific cyclin-B3 | Cyclins are positive regulatory subunits of the cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs), and thereby play an essential role in the control of the cell cycle, notably via their destruction during cell division. |

Pharmacogenomics
Cohort genes with a PharmGKB record: 4; with CPIC/DPWG dosing guidelines: 0.
No cohort gene has a CPIC/DPWG genotype-guided dosing guideline (PharmGKB).
Chemical tractability of cohort targets
19 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.
