Gender Differences in Cognitive Ability Associated with Genetic Variants of <i>NLGN4</i>
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Neuroligin-4 (NL4), encoded by the NLGN4 gene on the X chromosome, is a neuronal-specific brain membrane protein which plays an important role in the formation of functional presynaptic elements and axon specialization. The genetic variants of NLGN4 affect the biological function of NL4, resulting in the manifestation of different psychiatric disorders. The present study investigates the influence of these genetic variants on cognitive performance. The cognitive abilities of 351 subjects were evaluated using the Chinese Wechsler Intelligence Scale Children. The haplotypes were assigned with the PHASE program. The ANOVA method was applied to investigate the relationship between single SNP, the identified target haplotypes and cognitive performance in a random sample. We observed that the X(C) allele of rs5916271 and X(A) allele of the re6638575 carriers had significantly higher cognitive ability performances than the noncarrier boys (p < 0.05). The target haplotype composed of 2 allele (X(CA+)) carriers also displayed a higher cognitive performance than that of the noncarriers boys. The genetic polymorphism of NLGN4 also had a significant effect on the boys' cognitive ability and other intelligence factors. Future research will involve determining the relationship between NLGN4 and personal cognitive ability.

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.
