Abstract
The objective of this exploratory study was to evaluate the role of the insulin-like growth factor I receptor (IGF-IR) in esophageal adenocarcinoma (EADC). Using quantitative PCR, we studied IGF-IR mRNA expression in 52 well-characterized surgically resected EADC and matched histologically normal esophageal tissues, and examined IGF-IR expression levels in relation to clinicopathologic characteristics, body mass index (BMI), and the common IGF-IR polymorphism (G1013A), recently proposed to modify risk of obesity for EADC. Expression levels of IGF-IR mRNA were not significantly different between EADC and matched histologically normal esophageal epithelia. Although no significant associations were found between IGF-IR expression and BMI, tumor differentiation, stage or survival, when stratified by genotype, patients with the polymorphic A variant had significantly higher IGF-IR expression in EADC tissues compared with matched normal epithelia. These findings suggest that G1013A most likely modulates IGF-IR function, possibly by influencing gene transcription or mRNA stability, and represents a plausible mechanistic link underlying the association between obesity and esophageal malignancy.

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 it
