Cross‐Ethnic Variant Screening and Burden Analysis of <scp><i>PTPA</i></scp> in Parkinson's Disease
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Recently, homozygous variants in PTPA were identified as the disease cause for two pedigrees with early-onset parkinsonism and intellectual disability. Although the initial link between PTPA and parkinsonism has been established, further replication was still necessary. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the genetic role of PTPA in Parkinson's disease (PD). METHODS: = 8177) with whole-exome sequencing, and further explored the functional effect of the target variant. RESULTS: One patient with early-onset PD from a consanguineous family carried the homozygous variant p.Met329Val, while her parents and elder sister with heterozygous p.Met329Val were healthy. This patient developed minor cognitive decline within 1 year, with a Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) score dropping from 28 to 25. Functional exploration with overexpression studies suggested that this variant was associated with decreased protein phosphatase 2A (PTPA) protein level by affecting protein stability, but not mRNA expression. CONCLUSIONS: These results have broadened the mutation spectrum of PTPA, and paved the way for further research into the role of PTPA in PD. © 2023 International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society.

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.
