GWAS-driven Pathway Analyses and Functional Validation Suggest <i>GLIS1</i> as a Susceptibility Gene for Mitral Valve Prolapse
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Nonsyndromic Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is a common degenerative valvular heart disease with severe health consequences, including arrhythmia, heart failure and sudden death. MVP is characterized by excess extracellular matrix secretion and cellular disorganization which leads to bulky valves that are unable to co-apt properly during ventricular systole. However, the triggering mechanisms of this process are mostly unknown. Using pathway enrichment tools applied to GWAS we show that genes at risk loci are involved in biological functions relevant to cell adhesion and migration during cardiac development and in response to shear stress. Through genetic, in silico and in vivo experiments we demonstrates the presence of several genes involved in gene regulation, including GLIS1 , a transcription factor that regulates Hedgehog signaling. Our findings define genetic, molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying non-syndromic MVP and implicate disrupted endothelial to mesenchymal transition and cell migration as a potential common cause to this disease.

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.
