<i>CYR61 </i>polymorphisms are associated with plasma HDL‐cholesterol levels in obese individuals
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We have recently characterized the transcriptome of the omental adipose tissue of non-diabetic, obese men with and without the metabolic syndrome (MS). The cysteine-rich protein 61 (CYR61) is one of the most differentially expressed genes between the groups and has been selected for a detailed molecular investigation. Direct sequencing of complete CYR61 gene revealed five polymorphisms with minor allele frequency >5% in the promoter region (rs 3753794, rs 3753793 and rs 2297140), intron 1 (rs 2297141) and intron 2 (IVS 2+50). Chi-square test and logistic regression were applied to test for association between CYR61 polymorphisms and the individual MS components in a cohort of 697 obese individuals. In men and women, rs 3753794 and rs 3753793 (r2 = 0.77) were associated plasma HDL-cholesterol levels (p = 0.016 and p = 0.008). Carriers of the A allele for rs 3753794 were more likely to have high plasma HDL-cholesterol levels (1.50-fold; p = 0.016), as compared with G/G homozygotes and the A/A homozygotes for rs 3753793 were more likely to exhibit low plasma HDL-cholesterol levels (1.56-fold; p = 0.008), as compared with C/C homozygotes. Furthermore, an association between IVS 2+50 polymorphism and HDL-cholesterol was found in women and in men analyzed separately (p = 0.002 and p = 0.038, respectively). These results suggest that CYR61 is a promising candidate gene for lipoprotein/lipid perturbations.

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.
