The epilepsy gene LGI1 encodes a secreted glycoprotein that binds to the cell surface
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Autosomal dominant lateral temporal epilepsy (ADTLE) is a partial epilepsy caused by mutations in LGI1, a multidomain protein of unknown function. To begin to understand the biological function of LGI1, we have determined its pattern of glycosylation, subcellular expression and capacity for secretion. LGI1 is expressed as two different isoforms in the brain, and we show that the long isoform is a secreted protein, whereas the short isoform is retained in an intracellular pool. ADLTE-related mutants of the long form are defective for secretion and are retained in the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi complex. Finally, we show that normal secreted LGI1 specifically binds to the cell surface of differentiated PC12 cells. We propose that LGI1 is a secreted factor important for neuronal development and that ADTLE is a disease that results from the loss of regulation in the protein available either extracellular or intracellularly.

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.
