Male sex accelerates cognitive decline in GBA1 Parkinson’s disease
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We evaluated 128 GBA and 432 nonGBA Parkinson's disease (PD) subjects available from Parkinson's Progression Markers Initiative. Baseline clinical features and dopaminergic activity were assessed, together with clinical follow-up (6.87 ± 3.2 years). Survival analyses assessed the independent and interactive effects of sex and GBA1 mutations on cognitive decline. At baseline, GBA-PD males showed severe motor impairment, sleep disorders and memory deficits. Despite milder motor deficit, compared to GBA-PD males, GBA-PD females showed greater dopaminergic denervation, suggesting the effect of neural reserve. In longitudinal assessment, GBA-PD males showed greater MoCA rate of change per year and greater risk of cognitive impairment than GBA-PD females and nonGBA-PD. In GBA-PD males, both late age at onset and "severe/mild" GBA variants were associated with increased risk of cognitive impairment. Male sex and GBA1 carrier status have an additive value in increasing the risk of cognitive decline in PD. The effect of sex on GBA1-related pathology warrants further examination to address future trials design and patients' selection.

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.
