The Prevalence of Anti-Hexokinase-1 and Anti-Kelch-Like 12 Peptide Antibodies in Patients With Primary Biliary Cholangitis Is Similar in Europe and North America: A Large International, Multi-Center Study
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), formerly known as primary biliary cirrhosis, is present worldwide. Autoantibodies, in particular anti-mitochondrial antibodies (AMA) detected by indirect immunofluorescence assays or newer solid phase immunoassays can detect most, but not all individuals with PBC. Detection of antibodies to the anti-nuclear antigens sp100 and gp210 can identify additional PBC patients, but some seronegative patients remain, often resulting in delayed diagnosis and treatment. Antibodies to kelch-like 12 (KLHL12) and hexokinase 1 (HK-1) were recently identified as new biomarkers for PBC and notably identify patients who are negative for conventional autoantibodies. To become globally adopted, it is important to validate these new biomarkers in different geographic areas. In the present study we evaluated the prevalence of anti-KLHL12 (measured by a KLHL12-derived peptide referred to as KL-p) and anti-HK-1 antibodies by ELISA at five sites within Europe and North America and demonstrated the presence of these antibodies in patients with PBC in all geographies.

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.
