Genome‐wide scan for linkage to schizophrenia in a Spanish‐origin cohort from Costa Rica
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Genetic isolates have been useful cohorts in which to search for genes underlying disorders of unknown pathology. One such cohort is thought to exist in the Central Valley of Costa Rica surrounding the city of San Jose. Previous investigators identified a rare dominant gene for hereditary deafness in this population, and a suggestive linkage of severe bipolar psychosis has been reported in another study. Ninety-nine families with at least one pair of siblings affected with schizophrenia or a schizophrenia-spectrum diagnosis had clinical evaluations and DNA collected for genotyping. The Marshfield Medical Research Foundation (NHLBI) Mammalian Genotyping Service performed all genotyping using 404 short-tandem repeat polymorphic markers (STRPs) spaced on average 10 cM apart. Data were analyzed using the nonparametric program, GeneHunterPlus. The population structure was investigated using the STRUCT program. No region was found with genome-wide significance for linkage. Using a phenotype of schizophrenia plus schizoaffective disorder, the highest maximum likelihood score (MLS) observed was 1.78 (P < 0.004) at 176.6 cM from pter on chromosome 5q, an area previously implicated by some other groups. In addition, five regions on chromosomes 1p, 2p, 2q, 14p, and 8p had MLSs above 1.0. All other regions produced scores below 1.0. Population genetic analysis reveals no evidence for population substructure, for admixture with other populations, such as Amerindians, or for inbreeding in the parental generation. The latter casts some doubt on this population being an isolate, although there was evidence of inbreeding among the offspring.
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

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.
