H3C4 (Histone H3.1) is a gene. The public catalogues list it as a biomarker, and clinical evidence ties its variants to diagnosis, prognosis or drug response.
Core component of nucleosome. Nucleosomes wrap and compact DNA into chromatin, limiting DNA accessibility to the cellular machineries which require DNA as a template. Histones thereby play a central role in transcription regulation, DNA repair, DNA replication and chromosomal stability.
CIViC holds 1 clinical evidence item and 0 assertions across 1 variant.

No product in this corpus aims at H3C4 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 lists H3C4 among essential proteins; a medicine acting on the wild-type protein would expose normal tissue too. HPA H3C4: RNA tissue enriched (bone marrow 12 nTPM); high antibody staining in 44 normal tissues; highest cancer staining glioma (12 of 12 high). Distribution: no corpus cancer carries a prevalence row, threshold or catalogue link for it; Open Targets associates it with 0 specific cancer types at or above 0.5. (Rule 7 of scripts/fetch-target-specificity.ts.)

Core component of nucleosome. Nucleosomes wrap and compact DNA into chromatin, limiting DNA accessibility to the cellular machineries which require DNA as a template. Histones thereby play a central role in transcription regulation, DNA repair, DNA replication and chromosomal stability. DNA accessibility is regulated via a complex set of post-translational modifications of histones, also called histone code, and nucleosome remodeling. Location: Nucleus; Chromosome (UniProt). Locus 6p22.2 (HGNC).
RNA: tissue enriched (bone marrow 12 nTPM), detected in some normal tissues.
Medium: Oral mucosa.
RNA cancer enhanced: Colon Adenocarcinoma 10 pTPM.
