Olfaction in Homozygous and Heterozygous <scp>SYNJ</scp> 1 Arg258Gln Mutation Carriers
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Hyposmia is a common nonmotor symptom in Parkinson's disease (PD) and has been variably detected in monogenic parkinsonism. SYNJ1 has been recently identified as the gene defective in a novel form of autosomal-recessive, early-onset atypical parkinsonism, designed as PARK20. To assess olfaction in PARK20, we administered the University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test (UPSIT) in four groups of subjects: SYNJ1 homozygous (HOM = 3) and heterozygous (HET = 4); sporadic PD (PD = 68); and healthy control subjects (CTR = 61). A linear regression model was constructed to assess the association between raw UPSIT score (outcome) and group (HOM, HET, PD, and CTR), adjusting for age, gender, and current smoking status. Likewise in PD patients, odor identification is impaired in homozygous SYNJ1 mutation carriers. Although the limited sample size precludes definite conclusions about olfaction in SYNJ1-related parkinsonism, our findings suggest new insights into PARK20 phenotype and pathophysiology.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
