Associations between <i>CYP4F2</i> missense variant rs3093105 A>C and Alzheimer’s disease phenotypes
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Background 20‐hydroxyeicosatetranoic acid (20‐HETE) is a potent vasoconstrictor synthesized by the CYP4F2 enzyme. The CYP4F2 missense variant rs3093105 A>C (W12G) has been implicated in hypertension and stroke, risk factors for Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and with decreased 20‐HETE activity. To explore the potential role of the CYP4F2/20‐HETE pathway and AD, this study investigated associations between the rs3093105 variant and AD phenotypes. Method Participants from the Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative with amyloid‐beta 42 positive PET status and a diagnosis of AD or mild cognitive impairment were selected. Linear regressions explored the relationship between rs3093105 C‐allele carrier status (AC/CC vs AA) and cognition, assessed as executive function and memory composites and Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test (RAVLT) scores; and brain volumetric measures at baseline, obtained using FreeSurfer on MRI T1‐weighted images. Longitudinal associations (up to 48 months) were explored via interactions between carrier status and time in mixed effects models. Covariates included baseline age, sex, APOE e4 status, years of education, intracranial volume, and Mini Mental State Exam score. Result The rs3093105 variant was present at a minor allele frequency of 19.2% in 315 individuals (mean age 73.3 ± 7.57, 43.2% women). At baseline, C‐allele carriers had higher executive function composite scores (B = 0.315, SE = 0.119, p = 0.009, n = 315) and RAVLT immediate (sum of trials 1‐5) scores (B = 2.46, SE = 1.24, p = 0.048, n = 315), and larger whole brain volume (B = 14.19, SE = 6.84, p = 0.039, n = 310). Over time, carriers had higher memory composite scores (B = 0.116, SE = 0.052, p = 0.027, n = 183) and RAVLT learning (trial 5 minus trial 1) scores (B = 0.484, SE = 0.207, p = 0.021, n = 179), and retention in hippocampal volume (B = 4.19, SE = 1.71, p = 0.016, n = 127). Conclusion Altogether, rs3093105 C‐allele carriers show better performance on memory tests and retention of hippocampal volume. These findings suggest a potential role of the CYP4F2/20‐HETE pathway in AD progression and warrants replication studies in other cohorts.

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.
