Genome scan in sibling pairs with juvenile‐onset mood disorders: Evidence for linkage to 13q and Xq
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Mood disorders (bipolar and depressive disorders) in children and adolescents are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Twin and family studies, for the most part, indicate higher familiality and heritability for mood disorders that onset in childhood/adolescence than those that onset in adulthood. To identify the genetic contribution to mood disorders that onset in childhood/adolescence, we performed a genome scan on 146 nuclear families from Hungary containing an affected proband and affected siblings. In total, the pedigrees contained 303 affected children: 146 probands, 137 siblings with a first episode of mood disorder before 14.9 years of age, and 20 siblings with onset of their first episode after 14.9 years of age but before the age of 18. The results of the genome scan using 405 microsatellite markers did not provide evidence for linkage at the recommended genome wide significance level for any novel loci. However, markers on two chromosomes, 13q and Xq, provided evidence for linkage in regions previously identified as linked to bipolar disorder in multiple studies. For the marker on chromosome 13q the peak non-parametric multipoint LOD score was at the marker D13S779 (LOD = 1.5, P = 0.004). On chromosome Xq, evidence for linkage was observed across a large region spanning two regions previously linked to bipolar disorder; Xq24 to Xq28, with a peak at marker TTTA062 (LOD 2.10, P = 0.0009) in Xq28. Results for these regions exceed the recommended P-value for a replication study of P < 0.01 and thus provide evidence for these two loci as contributing to mood disorders with juvenile onset.

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.
