Abstract
Cytochrome c oxidase (COX) deficiency is the most common respiratory chain defect in childhood and is clinically heterogeneous. We report a study of six patients with COX deficiencies. Two of the patients had as yet undefined defects, three patients had Surf-1 mutations, and one patient had a 15-base pair deletion in the COX III subunit. We show that quantitative measurements of steady-state levels of subunits by monoclonal antibody reactivity, when used in combination with a discontinuous sucrose gradient methods, provide an improved diagnosis of COX deficiencies by distinguishing between kinetic, stability, and assembly defects. The two mutants of undefined etiology had a full complement of subunits with one stable and the other partially unstable to detergent solubilization. Both are likely to carry mutations in nuclear-encoded subunits of the complex. The three Surf-1 mutants and the COX III mutant each had reduced steady-state levels of subunits but variable associations of the residual subunits. This information, as well as aiding in diagnosis, helps in understanding the genotype-phenotype relationships of COX deficiencies and provides insight into the mechanism of assembly of the enzyme complex.

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
