Update DAB1/SCA37 criTRia curation (#360)
## Description Updated the DAB1/SCA37 criTRia curation entry to improve evidence details and citation support. The main change was replacing review-based support for proband and segregation evidence with primary literature from PMID:28686858 and PMID:29939198. The proband evidence score was updated according to the criTRia SOP maximum for Singular Evidence, and the overall genetic/total scores were capped appropriately. Fixes: # ## Major Changes - Updated DAB1/SCA37 proband evidence to cite primary sources: PMID:28686858 and PMID:29939198. - Updated DAB1/SCA37 segregation evidence to cite primary sources: PMID:28686858 and PMID:29939198. - Revised proband evidence score from 3.0 to 6.0 based on multiple unrelated SCA37 families reported across the Portuguese discovery and Spanish replication studies. - Updated summary scores to reflect SOP-based scoring caps: - Singular Evidence: 3.0 → 6.0 - Genetic Evidence: 11.5 → 12.0 - Total score: 17.5 → 18.0 - Classification remains Definitive. ## Minor Changes - Added clearer, more evidence-specific details for DAB1/SCA37 proband and segregation rows. - Replaced review-based PMID:30284037 support with primary-source citations where appropriate. - Updated the root-level Description to summarize the DAB1 ATTTC repeat expansion, familial segregation, repeat-size effects, functional evidence, and model evidence. - Added curator-review notes for evidence rows where the cited data may overlap or may not fully support the assigned evidence type. ## Checklist - [x] All changes are well summarized - [x] Check all tests pass - [x] Check that the website preview looks good - [ ] Update the STRchive version in `CITATION.cff`, format X.Y.Z. If any major changes, increment Y. If only minor changes, increment Z. If breaking change, increment X. - [x] Ask someone to review this PR --------- Co-authored-by: Harriet Dashnow <h.dashnow@gmail.com>

"Description": "Spinocerebellar ataxia type 37 (SCA37) is an autosomal dominant, generally pure cerebellar ataxia associated with an unstable intronic ATTTC pentanucleotide insertion in the non-coding/regulatory region of DAB1. Reported pathogenic alleles place an ATTTC insertion within a polymorphic ATTTT tract, whereas ATTTT-only alleles are non-pathogenic. Available evidence includes familial segregation and shared haplotypes in Portuguese and Spanish kindreds, absence of the ATTTC mutation from control/healthy relatives, repeat-size effects on age at onset, DAB1 transcript dysregulation/RNA switch in SCA37 cerebellum, AUUUC RNA aggregation in transfected human cells, and AUUUC repeat toxicity in zebrafish embryos.",
