As of 2026-09-13

GABA A receptor alpha-1/beta-1/gamma-2 shows approved-linked disease relevance led by insomnia. 5 more disease programs remain visible in the same review block. 2 linked drugs keep the current disease frame grounded. Protein identity stays anchored to UniProt P14867. Start with insomnia, then reuse UniProt P14867 as the stable protein anchor across project notes and exports.
