CEREBELLAR MIGRATION DEFECTS IN AICARDI SYNDROME: AN EXTENSION OF THE NEUROPATHOLOGICAL SPECTRUM
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The Aicardi syndrome is characterized by infantile spasms, corpus callosum agenesis, and chorioretinal lacunae and almost exclusively affects females (very rarely, 47, XXY males). The crucial genetic mishap likely occurs in the postzygotic stage, but the variable clinical phenotype among the approximately 450 known cases has not been explained. No consistent mutations or deletions exist among patients. We encountered a baby girl with early onset infantile spasms. She had left-sided cleft lip/palate, costovertebral defects, scoliosis, callosal agenesis, and microphthalmia. She expired at the age of 3 months of respiratory infection. On autopsy she had thoracic hemivertebrae with rib defects, bilateral microphthalmia, microcornea, posterior colobomata, abnormalities of the retinal pigment epithelium, absence of normal ganglion cells in the retina, gross asymmetry of the brain with cerebral polymicrogyria, total callosal agenesis, cerebral subcortical and subependymal nodular heterotopias, cerebellar nodular heterotopias, and tegmental/basal unilateral brainstem hypoplasia. Cerebellar and retinal migration defects have not been described before in Aicardi syndrome and may have had a bearing on this patient's eventual outcome.

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.
