Haplotype association and mutation analysis of the transglutaminase 1 gene for prenatal exclusion of lamellar ichthyosis
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Lamellar ichthyosis (LI) is an autosomal recessive keratinization disorder of the skin. Genetic heterogeneity has been shown for the disease and there is evidence for the involvement of the transglutaminase 1 (TGM1) gene on chromosome 14q11. We have previously identified chromosome 14q11 haplotypes associated with ichthyosis in the Norwegian population. In this paper we describe antenatal exclusion of ichthyosis in two Norwegian families by chromosome 14q11 haplotype association and direct mutation analysis. In one pregnancy, the 11-week old fetus at risk for LI was found to share only one disease-associated haplotype. A subsequent mutation analysis of the TGM1 gene in fetal DNA revealed that the fetus carried a novel 3795A-->T transversion. The affected proband was compound heterozygous for the mutations 3795A-->T and 3239G-->C resulting in an Asp430Val and a Val379Leu, respectively. In another LI family, the 11-week old fetus was found to be heterozygous for the 14q11 haplotype associated with the disease. Subsequent mutation analysis revealed that the fetus was heterozygous for the 2526A-->G transition in the splice site of intron 5 whereas the proband was homozygous for the same mutation. Our results show that haplotyping can be a useful tool for prenatal diagnosis in diseases with genetic heterogeneity.

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.
