Diverse effects of the CARD15 and IBD5 loci on clinical phenotype in 630 patients with Crohnʼs disease
Bibliographic record
Abstract
OBJECTIVES: Genetic variants at the CARD15 and IBD5 loci are strongly associated with Crohn's disease (CD), but evidence of the effect of these variants on the clinical expression of CD is conflicting and has often been hampered by small sample sizes. We studied 630 well-characterized patients to clarify the genotype/phenotype relationship in CD. METHODS: Patients and healthy controls were genotyped for three common mutations in CARD15 and a marker of the IBD5 risk haplotype. Allele frequencies were compared between phenotypic subgroups using chi2 or Fisher's exact tests. Genotype/phenotype analysis was carried out using multinomial logistic regression modelling allowing for adjustment for correlated or confounding factors. RESULTS: The mean age at diagnosis was significantly lower in carriers of the CARD15 or IBD5 risk alleles. After correction for age and smoking, CARD15 mutations were strongly associated with both ileal disease (P=8.8 x 10(-6)) and stenotic disease (P=0.003), but the association with stenotic disease appeared to be due to a confounding effect with ileal disease. CARD15 mutations were also associated with the presence of granulomas (P=5.7 x 10(-5)), which remained significant after adjustment for age at diagnosis and disease location (P=0.0047). The IBD5 risk haplotype frequency was significantly elevated in cases with perianal disease (P=0.028) and axial spondyloarthropathy (P=0.012). CONCLUSION: Genetic variants at the CARD15 and IBD5 loci have diverse effects on clinical expression in CD. CARD15 mutations are significantly correlated with the presence of granulomas.

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.
