Cytogenetic and molecular characterization of a de-novo cryptic deletion of 7p21 associated with an apparently balanced translocation and complex craniosynostosis
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We describe a female infant with complex craniosynostosis, significant craniofacial dysmorphism and developmental delay in which a de-novo apparently balanced translocation between chromosomes 7 and 18 [46,XX,t(7;18)(p15.3;q11.2)] was identified. Additional cytogenetic and molecular investigations identified a cryptic interstitial 7.6-10.6-Mb deletion of the region between bands 7p21.2 and 7p21.3 on the derivative chromosome 18. The deletion was of paternal origin and contained the TWIST1 gene, although her features were not completely characteristic of Saethre-Chotzen syndrome. The phenotype of this patient is likely further complicated by loss of other genes within the deleted region and/or disruption of a critical gene(s) at the sites of the breakpoints on chromosomes 7 and 18. This case illustrates the need for a systematic molecular study of breakpoints and the surrounding chromosomal regions in patients with apparently balanced rearrangements and phenotypic abnormalities.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
