Evidence of QTLs on chromosomes 1q42 and 8q24 for LDL-cholesterol and apoB levels in the HERITAGE Family Study
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Genome-wide multipoint linkage analyses were performed to identify chromosomal regions harboring genes influencing LDL-cholesterol, total apolipoprotein B (apoB), and LDL-apoB levels using 654 markers. They were assessed in a sedentary state (baseline) and after a 20 week endurance training program. Strong evidence for two quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for baseline levels was found. There is linkage evidence in black families on chromosomes 1q41-q44 [at marker D1S2860, 238 centimorgan (cM), with a maximum log of the odds (LOD) score of 3.7 for LDL-apoB] and in white families on chromosome 8q24 (at marker D8S1774, 142 cM, with LOD scores of 3.6, 3.3, and 2.5 for baseline LDL-cholesterol, LDL-apoB, and apoB, respectively). There were no strong signals for the lipoprotein training responses (as computed as the difference in posttraining minus baseline levels). In conclusion, QTLs for baseline apoB and LDL-cholesterol levels on chromosomes 1q41-q44 (in blacks) and 8q24 (in whites) were found. As there are no known strong candidate genes in these regions for lipids, follow-up studies to determine the source of those signals are needed.

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.
