GADD45A (Growth arrest and DNA damage-inducible protein GADD45 alpha) is a gene. The public catalogues list it as a biomarker and a DNA repair gene, and clinical evidence ties its variants to diagnosis, prognosis or drug response. Tied to Ovarian cancer.
In T-cells, functions as a regulator of p38 MAPKs by inhibiting p88 phosphorylation and activity. Might affect PCNA interaction with some CDK (cell division protein kinase) complexes; stimulates DNA excision repair in vitro and inhibits entry of cells into S phase.
CIViC holds 1 clinical evidence item and 0 assertions across 1 variant.

No product in this corpus aims at GADD45A yet. Drugs bind the molecule precisely: to switch it off, flag the cell for the immune system, or deliver a payload.
Broadly expressed or essential: HPA finds the RNA at low tissue specificity; a medicine acting on the wild-type protein would expose normal tissue too. HPA GADD45A: RNA low tissue specificity; blood lineage group enriched (granulocytes 49 nTPM, T-cells 19 nTPM); no normal tissue stained high. Distribution: 1 cancer family in the corpus carries a prevalence row, label threshold or catalogue link for it (Ovarian cancer); Open Targets associates it with 0 specific cancer types at or above 0.5. (Rule 7 of scripts/fetch-target-specificity.ts.)
