Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Tourette syndrome (TS) has a significant genetic component, yet no TS susceptibility genes have been identified definitively. Several studies have determined that first-degree relatives of patients with TS have at least a 5- to 15-fold increased risk of developing the disorder compared with the general population, an increase that represents one of the highest familial recurrence risks among neuropsychiatric diseases that are inherited in a non-Mendelian fashion.1 Recently, Slit- and Trk-like 1 (SLITRK1) was proposed as a candidate TS susceptibility gene, and a noncoding polymorphism in the 3′ untranslated region of this gene (var321) was reported to be associated with TS in a case–control sample.2 Additional studies in small samples or population isolates have failed to replicate this association.3,4 As part of a 20-year collaborative effort, the Tourette Syndrome Association International Consortium for Genetics (TSAICG) has systematically collected a clinical sample of over 1,000 patients with TS and their family members.5 We chose to screen these individuals for SLITRK1 var321 to determine a more accurate estimate of the prevalence of this variant in the white TS clinic population and to test for any association between var321 and TS. ### Methods. A total of 2,300 individuals from 646 independently ascertained nuclear families were recruited from tic disorder specialty clinics from the United States, Canada, Great Britain, and The Netherlands. A total of 1,048 individuals (172 parents and 876 offspring) were diagnosed with either TS (989 subjects) or chronic tics (CT) (59 subjects) (e-Methods on the Neurology ® Web site at www.neurology.org). A total of 440 …

Not 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.
