Holoprosencephaly and cleidocranial dysplasia in a patient due to two position‐effect mutations: case report and review of the literature
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Holoprosencephaly (HPE) is a genetically heterogeneous developmental field defect in which midline cleavage of the forebrain and craniofacial structures is impaired. Based on the analysis of HPE patients with chromosome rearrangements, at least six loci for the disorder have been assigned. The sonic hedgehog gene (SHH) at 7q36 has been identified as the HPE3 locus. Cleidocranial dysplasia (CCD) is an autosomal dominant skeletal disorder characterized by clavicular, pelvic and dental anomalies. It is caused by mutations in the osteoblast-specific transcription factor CBFA1/RUNX2, which maps to 6p21. We report a 20-year-old female with premaxillary agenesis (part of the HPE spectrum), as well as skeletal abnormalities and impacted teeth reminiscent of CCD. She carries a de novo 6;7 reciprocal translocation, with breakpoints at 6p21.1 and 7q36. We have shown previously that the 7q36 breakpoint maps 15 kb telomeric to the 5' end of SHH, which explains the patient's HPE phenotype. Now, using fluorescence in situ hybridization, we have identified a P1 artificial chromosome clone 800 kb upstream of CBFA1/RUNX2 that spans the 6p breakpoint. We propose that the proband's complex phenotype is due to two position-effect (PE) mutations, one at each translocation breakpoint, which have altered the expression of the SHH and CBFA1/RUNX2 genes. The role of PE mutations in human disease is also reviewed.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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 teacher head, not a consensus.
