Genetic association and functional characterization of <i>MCPH1</i> gene variation in bipolar disorder and schizophrenia
Bibliographic record
Abstract
) was tested for association in 2,300 bipolar disorder (BPD) participants, 1,930 SCZ participants and 1,820 normal comparison subjects. We report evidence for association of rs61749465A>G with BPD (p = 0.0009). rs61749465 is located in the N-terminal of the BRCT1 domain of MCPH1. Bioinformatic analysis predicted the Asp61Gly substitution to be damaging to MCPH1 function. A second MCPH1 BRCT1 domain variant (rs199422124C>G; p.Thr27Arg), reported to cause autosomal recessive microcephaly, was not detected in the participants tested here. We sought to characterize the functional effects of these variants on MCPH1 function. Cell count assays indicated that rs199422124 allele G had a greater impact on cell survival compared to the G allele of rs61749465. Gene expression analysis combined with gene network and pathway analysis indicated that rs61749465 allele G may impact protein translation and cell cycle control. The evidence for association between rs61749465A>G and psychosis in both BPD and SCZ warrants further replication. Likewise, the data from the functional analyses point to molecular mechanisms that may underlie the proposed MCPH1 mediated risk of psychosis and pathogenesis in autosomal recessive microcephaly require additional experimental validation.

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.
