Association of CD58 Polymorphism with Multiple Sclerosis and Response to Interferon ß Therapy in A Subset of Iranian Population.
Bibliographic record
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is one of the leading neurodegenerative causes of physical disability world-wide. Genetic aberrations of autoimmunity pathway components have been demonstrated to significantly influence MS development. Cluster of Differentiation 58 (CD58) is pertained to a group of genes which had been assayed in several recent association studies. Given the significance of CD58 in modulation of T regulatory cells that control autoimmune responses, the present study was conducted to investigate the frequency of rs12044852 polymorphism and its effect on the outcome of interferon beta (IFN-β) therapy in a subset of Iranian MS patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Two hundred MS patients and equal number of healthy controls were recruited to be genotyped in an experimental case-control based study through polymerase chain reaction using specific sequence primers (PCR-SSP). Relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) patients administered IFN-β therapy were followed up with clinical visits every three months up to two years. The mean of multiple sclerosis severity score (MSSS) and expanded disability status scale (EDSS) were measured to monitor the change in severity of MS in response to IFN-β therapy. Pearson's Chi-square and analysis of variance (ANOVA) tests were the main statistical methods used in this study. RESULTS: Strong association was found between the CC genotype and onset of MS (p=0.001, OR=2.22). However, there was no association between rs12044852 and various classifications and severity of MS. Pharmacogenetics-based analysis indicated that carriers of CC genotype had the highest MSSS score compared to others, implying a negative impact of rs12044852 on response to IFN-β therapy. CONCLUSION: Taken together, our findings revealed the critical effect of rs12044852 polymorphism of CD58 on the progression of MS disease. This indicates that genotyping of MS patients may expedite achieving personalized medical management of MS patients.

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.
