Abstract
Feingold syndrome (FS) is the most frequent cause of familial syndromic gastrointestinal atresia and follows autosomal dominant inheritance. FS is caused by germline mutations in or deletions of the MYCN gene. Previously, 12 different heterozygous MYCN mutations and two deletions containing multiple genes including MYCN were described. All these mutations result in haploinsufficiency of both the canonical MYCN protein and the shorter isoform, DeltaMYCN. We report 11 novel mutations including seven mutations in exon 2 that result in a premature termination codon (PTC) in the long MYCN transcript. Moreover, we have identified a PTC in exon 1 that only affects the DeltaMYCN isoform, without a phenotypic effect. This suggests that mutations in only DeltaMYCN do not contribute to the FS. Additionally, we found three novel deletions encompassing MYCN. Together with our previous report we now have a total of four missense mutations in the DNA binding domain, 19 PTCs of which six render the transcript subject to nonsense-mediated decay (NMD), and five larger deletions in a total of 77 patients. We have reviewed the clinical features of these patients, and found that digital anomalies, e.g., brachymesophalangy and toe syndactyly, are the most consistent features, present in 100% and 97% of the patients, respectively. Small head circumference was present in 89% of the cases. Gastrointestinal atresia remains the most important major congenital anomaly (55%), but cardiac and renal anomalies are also frequent. We suggest that the presence of brachymesophalangy and toe syndactyly in combination with microcephaly is enough to justify MYCN analysis.

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
