De novo dup(X)(q22.3q26) in a girl with evidence that functional disomy of X material is the cause of her abnormal phenotype
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The relationship between phenotype and Xq duplications in females remains unclear. Some females are normal; some have short stature; and others have features such as microcephaly, developmental delay/mental retardation, body asymmetries, and gonadal dysgenesis. There are several hypotheses proposed in the literature to explain this variability. We describe a 7-year-old girl with dup(X)(q22.3q26). The pregnancy was complicated by intrauterine growth retardation, and she was distressed during labor. During her first year she fed poorly and failed to thrive. She has microcephaly, her height is at the 10th centile, and her hands and feet are strikingly small. She is hypotonic and delayed. Asymmetries of muscle power, and of leg and foot length have been noted. She has mild unilateral ptosis. She has some features of Turner syndrome, and multiple other minor anomalies such as flat labia. These are features common to other described females. This report describes our patient in detail and compares her phenotype to those of the other females with Xq duplications, displays our laboratory investigations, and discusses ideas regarding the pathogenesis of phenotype. The duplicated X is of paternal origin. It is inactivated in all cells; however, the distal duplicated portion appears to be active. We suggest that functional disomy of the duplicated X material, due to local escape from inactivation, may be responsible for the phenotype in the affected females.

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.
