Adaptor protein 2 sigma subunit ( <i>AP2S1</i> ) variants associated with neurodevelopmental disorders
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Adaptor-Related Protein Complex 2 Sigma-1 Subunit ( AP2S1 ) encodes AP2σ2, which forms part of the heterotetrameric AP2 complex that is composed of α, β2, μ2, and σ2 subunits and has a pivotal role in clathrin-mediated endocytosis (CME) 1–3 . AP2S1 variants involving the Arg15 residue are associated with familial hypocalciuric hypercalcaemia type 3 (FHH3) 1,4–6 . Here, we report 5 different AP2S1 variants (AP2σ2: p.Arg10Trp, p.Arg10Gln, p.Lys18Glu, p.Lys18Asn and p.Arg61His) in 26 patients with neurodevelopmental delay, of whom >70% had epilepsy, 50% had brain abnormalities, and none had hypercalcaemia. All 5 variants decreased cell viability, 4 reduced CME transferrin uptake, and 4 disrupted interactions with other AP2 complex subunits, thereby affecting AP2 formation. Furthermore, AP2σ2 p.Arg10Trp had reduced interactions with 44 human proteins including intersectin 1, a component required for clathrin-coated pit formation and synaptic vesicle dynamics in neurones. Thus, our results show that AP2σ2 variants may disrupt CME and be associated with neurodevelopmental disorders.

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.
