Associations of allelic variants of the multidrug resistance gene (ABCB1 or MDR1) and Inflammatory Bowel Disease and their effects on disease behavior: A case-control and meta-analysis study
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Allelic variants of the ATP-binding cassette, subfamily B member 1 (ABCB1), also known as the multidrug resistance gene (MDR1) that encodes the membrane-bound efflux transporter P-glycoprotein 170 (PGP-170), have been associated with inflammatory bowel disease but with conflicting results. METHODS: The present study examined the association of ABCB1 C3435T and G2677T/A in a large British case-control cohort of 828 Crohn's disease, 580 ulcerative colitis (UC) cases, and 285 healthy controls. The effect of these variants was further examined with respect to phenotypic and epidemiological characteristics. A meta-analysis was carried out of our results and those from 8 previously published association studies of the C3435T variant in inflammatory bowel disease. RESULTS: The 2677T allele was significantly increased in British UC cases compared with controls (45.2% vs. 39.6%; P = 0.034). In particular, the TT genotype was significantly associated with severe UC (odds ratio [OR] 1.90; 95% CI 1.01-3.55) and the use of steroids in UC (OR 1.77; 95% CI 1.08-2.88). No significant association was seen with C3435T and UC, Crohn's disease, or any clinical subgroup. A meta-analysis of 9 association studies of C3435T showed a significant association of the 3435T allele with UC (OR 1.12; 95% CI 1.02-1.23; P = 0.013) but not with CD. CONCLUSIONS: These results indicate that ABCB1 sequence variants are associated with a small increase in the risk of developing UC and may influence disease behavior.

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.
