Factors related to mean corpuscular volume in <i>HFE</i> p.C282Y homozygotes
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Introduction The aim of this study was to define the relationships between factors other than transferrin saturation (TS) to mean corpuscular volume (MCV) and macrocytosis (MCV > 100 fL) in HFE p.C282Y (rs1800562) homozygotes. Methods We studied white post‐screening participants with p.C282Y homozygosity who did not have anemia, report cirrhosis or pregnancy, or use medications that increase MCV. We analyzed relations of MCV and macrocytosis with age, sex, diabetes reports, daily alcohol consumption, swollen or tender 2nd/3rd metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joints, TS, and serum ferritin (SF). Results There were 257 participants (110 men and 147 women). Median alcohol consumption, median TS, median SF, and macrocytosis prevalence were significantly greater in men. Relative risk of macrocytosis in men was 2.81. In men and women, there were significant positive Pearson's correlations of MCV versus age and Spearman's correlations of MCV versus alcohol consumption and TS. Mean MCV and macrocytosis prevalence were significantly greater in participants with than without swollen or tender 2nd/3rd MCP joints. Linear regression on MCV revealed positive associations: age ( p < 0.0001), alcohol consumption ( p = 0.0007), and TS ( p < 0.0001). Logistic regression on macrocytosis revealed an odds ratio for age of 1.04 (95% confidence interval: 1.00, 1.07). Conclusions MCV in HFE p.C282Y homozygotes is positively related to age, daily alcohol consumption, TS, and swollen or tender 2nd/3rd MCP joints.

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.
