Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract Genes and Health (G&H) is a biomedical study of adult British-Pakistani and -Bangladeshi research volunteers enriched for autozygosity. We performed whole exome sequencing in 44,028 G&H participants, establishing the largest publicly available South Asian exome resource linked to longitudinal electronic health records. We performed association analyses for 646 traits under additive and recessive models, and meta-analysis of 33 cardiometabolic traits with UK Biobank, finding more than 100 novel gene-phenotype associations such as ADAM15 with pulmonary oedema and ADCY6 with intracerebral haemorrhage. We identified 2,991 genes with rare biallelic predicted loss-of-function (“knockout”) genotypes, 546 of which had not been previously reported. We show that the presence of knockouts in adults is associated with 2.2-times higher likelihood of drugs progressing beyond Phase 1 clinical trial. We further illustrate how their phenotypic profile can enhance efficacy and safety assessment of drug targets and aid in the interpretation of variants with ambiguous clinical significance in autosomal recessive disease genes.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not 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.
