Toward Further Mapping of the Association Between the <i>IL2RA</i> Locus and Type 1 Diabetes
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A novel type 1 diabetes locus was mapped to the interleukin-2 receptor alpha gene (IL2RA) on chromosome 10p15.1, encoding an important modulator of immunity. The aim of the current study was to confirm the association of IL2RA with type 1 diabetes and to attempt further mapping of the genetic effect with a new set of 12 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). We genotyped 949 nuclear family trios with one type 1 diabetes-affected offspring and two parents (2,847 individuals). Two of the 12 IL2RA SNPs genotyped (rs706778 and rs3118470) had statistically significant type 1 diabetes association (P = 6.96 x 10(-4) and 8.63 x 10(-4), respectively). Both SNPs are located in the 5' end of the long intron 1 within 3 kb of each other and are in high linkage disequilibrium (D' = 0.997, r(2) = 0.613). The A-C haplotype (frequency = 0.331) was associated with increased type 1 diabetes risk (P = 3.02 x 10(-4)). Our study identifies two markers in the IL2RA gene that are significantly associated with type 1 diabetes, supporting IL2RA as a promising candidate gene for type 1 diabetes and suggesting a potential role of IL2Ralpha in the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes, likely involving regulatory T-cells.

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.
