Partial tandem duplication of <i>GRIA3</i> in a male with mental retardation
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The genetic factors underlying mental retardation (MR) are very heterogeneous. Recent studies have identified a number of genes involved in MR, several of which lie on the X-chromosome, but the current understanding of the monogenic causes of MR is far from complete. Investigation of chromosomal rearrangements in patients with MR has proven particularly informative in the search for novel genes. Using array-based comparative genomic hybridization analysis, we identified a small copy number gain at Xq25, which was undetectable by conventional G-band analysis, in a boy with unexplained MR. Further characterization revealed a partial tandem duplication of GRIA3, an alteration also present on one allele in his mother. RT-PCR analysis of lymphoblastoid cell RNA revealed remarkably reduced GRIA3 transcript levels in the patient. The mother, whose cognitive level is normal, also demonstrated remarkably reduced GRIA3 transcript levels in lymphoblastoid cells, and X-chromosome inactivation (XCI) was completely skewed in her peripheral lymphocytes. It is possible that XCI in the brain is not completely skewed and that GRIA3 expression from the normal allele may account for the mother's normal cognitive function. Taken together with previous findings of GRIA3 disruptions in the patients with MR, our study strengthens the idea that GRIA3 is a candidate gene for X-linked MR and that severely reduced GRIA3 expression results in MR.

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.
