Abstract
Over a 10-year period blood samples were collected from 57 individuals with growth restriction and RSS-like features. Our goal was to identify epigenetic abnormalities in this cohort, including uniparental disomy of chromosome 7 (UPD7), methylation changes at chromosome 11p15, as well as new epigenomic alterations. We evaluated the methylation status of 7 imprinting control regions on chromosomes 7, 11, 14, and 15. UPD7 and chromosome 7 structural abnormalities had been previously identified in five patients. Epigenetic alterations on chromosome 11p15 were identified in 11 patients. Of interest, in 3 of these 11 patients, the epigenetic alterations were limited to the H19 promoter and the distal region of its associated imprinting center, ICR1. In addition, in one patient, we detected methylation changes consistent with maternal UPD at all tested imprinted regions. This patient series suggests that epimutations on chromosome 11p15 can be most efficiently detected in RSS patients by screening for DNA methylation defects at the H19 promoter or the distal region of ICR.

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 it
