Abstract
BACKGROUND: Previous studies have shown that genes in brain development pathways may have important roles in affecting risk of suicidal behaviors, with our previous meta-analysis supporting a role of the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) gene. NTRK2 is a gene that encodes the neurotrophic receptor tyrosine kinase 2, which is a receptor for BDNF. In the current study, we aim to examine the potential association between NTRK2 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) and suicidal ideation/behaviors. METHODS: We first conducted a literature search using keywords like 'NTRK2', 'TRKB', and 'suicid*' to identify papers on NTRK2 SNPs and suicidal ideation/behaviors. In addition, we have individual-level genotype data for all the identified SNPs in literature search. We used the R meta package to perform meta-analyses on both the genotype count and the allele count data. Moreover, we performed meta-analyses on specific haplotypes within each haplotype block. MAIN RESULTS: Following our literature search and meta-analyses on 20 NTRK2 SNPs across up to 8467 samples, we found three SNPs, rs10868235 [N = 5,318, odds ratio (OR) = 1.34, P = 0.02], rs1867283 (N = 5,134, OR = 0.73, P = 0.04), and rs1147198 (N = 5,132, OR = 1.36, P = 0.03) to be nominally associated with suicidal attempts. Those three findings, however, did not survive multiple-testing corrections. Also, none of the haplotype blocks showed significant involvement in suicidality. CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that the NTRK2 gene may not have a major role in suicidality. Future efforts, however, should explore gene-gene interaction and pathway analyses.

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 it
