GNAS AS2 methylation status enables mechanism-based categorization of pseudohypoparathyroidism type 1B.
Article in JCI insight, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Pseudohypoparathyroidism type 1B (PHP1B) results from aberrant genomic imprinting at the GNAS gene. Defining the underlying genetic cause in new patients is challenging because various genetic alterations (e.g., deletions, insertions) within the GNAS genomic region, including the neighboring STX16 gene, can cause PHP1B, and the genotype-epigenotype correlation has not been clearly established. Here, by analyzing patients with PHP1B with a wide variety of genotypes and epigenotypes, we identified a GNAS differentially methylated region (DMR) of distinct diagnostic value. This region, GNAS AS2, was hypomethylated in patients with genetic alterations located centromeric but not telomeric of this DMR. The AS2 methylation status was captured by a single probe of the methylation-sensitive multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MS-MLPA) assay utilized to diagnose PHP1B. In human embryonic stem cells, where NESP55 transcription regulates GNAS methylation status on the maternal allele, AS2 methylation depended on 2 imprinting control regions (STX16-ICR and NESP-ICR) essential for NESP55 transcription. These results suggest that the AS2 methylation status in patients with PHP1B reflects the position at which the genetic alteration affects NESP55 transcription during an early embryonic period. Therefore, AS2 methylation levels can enable mechanistic PHP1B categorization based on genotype-epigenotype correlation and, thus, help identify the underlying molecular defect in patients.
