Abstract
We review the cardiac abnormalities in 94 patients (27 new, 67 literature) with Costello syndrome, an increasingly recognized syndrome consisting of increased birth weight, postnatal growth retardation, and distinctive facial, skin, and musculoskeletal features (MIM 218040). A cardiac abnormality was found in 59 (63%) patients, with each of three categories occurring in approximately one-third of patients. A cardiovascular malformation (CVM) was noted in 30%, typically pulmonic stenosis (46% of those with a CVM). Cardiac hypertrophy was reported in 34%, which involved the left ventricle in 50% and was usually consistent with classic hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). A variety of rhythm disturbances were reported in 33%. Most (74%) were atrial tachycardia that was reported as supraventricular, chaotic, multifocal, or ectopic. Of 31 patients with a rhythm abnormality, 22 (68%) had an additional abnormality, i.e., CVM (4), cardiac hypertrophy (12), or both (6). Nine patients had isolated dysrhythmia, five (56%) of whom died. All of the 12 (13%) patients who died had a cardiac abnormality. One patient died of embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma, but in the remainder, a cardiac cause of death could not be disproved. All patients with Costello syndrome need a baseline cardiology evaluation with echocardiography and Holter monitoring. Additional prospective evaluations, even in patients without apparent cardiac abnormalities, would be prudent, although data are insufficient to propose a specific schedule.

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
