Single nucleotide polymorphism in <i>CTH</i> associated with variation in plasma homocysteine concentration
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Plasma total homocysteine (tHcy) concentration, an independent risk factor of atherosclerosis, has numerous genetic and environmental determinants. While the thermolabile polymorphism in MTHFR encoding methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase is the best-studied genetic factor associated with variation in plasma tHCy, other candidate genes are being evaluated. Recently, we discovered that cystathioninuria was caused by mutations in the CTH gene encoding cystathionine gamma-lyase, an enzyme that converts cystathionine to cysteine in the trans-sulfuration pathway. We also identified a common single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), namely c.1364G>T (S403I) in exon 12 of CTH. In the current analysis, we studied the association of genotypes of this SNP with plasma tHcy concentrations in 496 Caucasian subjects. CTH 1364T/T homozygotes had significantly higher mean plasma tHcy concentration than subjects with other genotypes, and the effect sizes of CTH and MTHFR genotypes were similar. The findings suggest that common variation in CTH may be a determinant of plasma tHcy concentrations.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
