Intron retention and frameshift mutations result in severe pyruvate carboxylase deficiency in two male siblings
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This paper describes the molecular characterization of two male siblings displaying the complex (Type B) form of pyruvate carboxylase (PC) deficiency in which severe neonatal lactic acidosis and redox abnormalities results in death within the first few weeks of life. The two male siblings were found to be compound heterozygous for a TAGG deletion at the exon15/intron15 splice site (IVS15+2-5delTAGG) and a dinucleotide deletion in exon 16 (2491-2492delGT) of the PC gene. We also demonstrate through RT-PCR and sequencing of aberrant transcripts that the IVS15+2-5delTAGG results in the retention of intron 15 during pre-mRNA splicing. In addition, both deletions are predicted to result in a frameshift to generate a premature termination codon such that the encoded mRNA could be subject to nonsense mediated decay.
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

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.
