Downregulation of plasma SELENBP1 protein in patients with recent-onset schizophrenia
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Upregulation of selenium binding protein 1 (SELENBP1) mRNA expression has been reported in schizophrenia, primarily in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. However, peripheral blood studies are limited and results are inconsistent. In this study, we examined SELENBP1 mRNA expression in whole blood and protein expression in plasma from patients with recent-onset schizophrenia (n = 30), treatment-resistant schizophrenia (n = 71) and healthy controls (n = 57). We also examined the effects of SELENBP1 genetic variation on gene and protein expression. We found lower SELENBP1 plasma protein levels in patients with recent-onset schizophrenia (p = 0.042) but not in treatment-resistant schizophrenia (p = 0.81). Measurement of peripheral mRNA levels showed no difference between treatment-resistant schizophrenia and healthy controls (p = 0.234) but clozapine plasma levels (p = 0.036) and duration of illness (p = 0.028) were positively correlated with mRNA levels. Genetic variation was not associated with mRNA or protein expression. Our data represent the first peripheral proteomic study of SELENBP1 in schizophrenia and suggest that plasma SELENBP1 protein is downregulated in patients with recent-onset schizophrenia.

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.
