Abstract
BACKGROUND: Development of viral-induced chronic myocarditis is thought to involve both environmental and genetic factors. However, to date, no susceptibility genes have been identified. METHODS AND RESULTS: We sought to identify loci that confer susceptibility to viral-induced chronic myocarditis with the use of chromosome substitution strain mice that are composed of 1 chromosome from the disease susceptible A/J strain on an otherwise resistant C57BL/6 background. By this method, we identified chromosome 17 to confer susceptibility. To further isolate the region of susceptibility, 8 strains of mice congenic for different portions of chromosome 17 were generated. Characterization of these strains identified at least 4 susceptibility loci on the chromosome. Three of these loci are located in the proximal 22.8 cM, whereas the fourth locus is located in the portion of the chromosome distal to 34.3 cM. CONCLUSIONS: We have identified 4 loci that confer susceptibility of viral-induced chronic myocarditis. Of these loci, 3 were distinct from the major histocompatibility complex locus and thus represent novel susceptibility loci. The close proximately of the 2 novel loci with susceptibility loci for other autoimmune diseases such as type 1 diabetes and chronic experimental autoimmune thyroiditis suggests the presence of global autoimmune susceptibility genes.

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 it
