GATA6 is a regulator of sinus node development and heart rhythm
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The sinus node (SAN) is the primary pacemaker of the human heart, and abnormalities in its structure or function cause sick sinus syndrome, the most common reason for electronic pacemaker implantation. Here we report that transcription factor GATA6, whose mutations in humans are linked to arrhythmia, is highly expressed in the SAN and its haploinsufficiency in mice results in hypoplastic SANs and rhythm abnormalities. Cell-specific deletion reveals a requirement for GATA6 in various SAN lineages. Mechanistically, GATA6 directly activates key regulators of the SAN genetic program in conduction and nonconduction cells, such as TBX3 and EDN1, respectively. The data identify GATA6 as an important regulator of the SAN and provide a molecular basis for understanding the conduction abnormalities associated with GATA6 mutations in humans. They also suggest that GATA6 may be a potential modifier of the cardiac pacemaker.

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.
