Abstract
To determine whether a common quantitative trait locus (QTL) influences the variation of fasting triglyceride (TG) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels, we used a bivariate multipoint linkage analysis with 654 polymorphic markers in 99 white and 101 black families. The phenotypes were investigated under two conditions: at baseline and after a 20-week exercise training intervention. A maximum genome-wide bivariate LOD score of 3.0 (p = 0.00010) was found on chromosome 12q23-q24, located within the IGF1 gene (insulin-like growth factor 1, at 107 cM) for TG and HDL-C at baseline in whites. This bivariate linkage peak is considerably higher than the univariate linkage results at the same chromosome location for either trait (for TG, LOD = 2.07, p = 0.00108; for HDL-C, LOD = 2.04, p = 0.00101). The genetic correlations between baseline TG and HDL-C levels were -0.14 for the residual and -0.33 for the QTL components. Moreover, association analysis showed that TG, HDL-C, and IGF1 are significantly associated (p = 0.04). In conclusion, these results suggest that a QTL on chromosome 12q23-q24 influences the variation of plasma TG and HDL-C levels. Further investigation should confirm whether IGF1 or another nearby gene is responsible for the concomitant variation in TG and HDL-C levels.

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
