Non-concordance of CVS and liver glycine cleavage enzyme in three families with non-ketotic hyperglycinaemia (NKH) leading to false negative prenatal diagnoses
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We report three false negative prenatal diagnostic results, using direct measurement of glycine cleavage enzyme activity in uncultured chorionic villus tissue from 290 pregnancies at risk for non-ketotic hyperglycinaemia (NKH). Testing was done by two centres: Vancouver, Canada and Lyon, France. One false negative result had activity near the lower limit of the normal range but two samples gave completely normal results well within the control range. All three pregnancies continued and the three children were born affected with NKH. Because of the first result, we now counsel that there is a grey zone of uninterpretable activity where affected and normal enzyme values overlap. Because of the other two results we now counsel that there is an approximately 1% chance of a pregnancy with a normal CVS activity resulting in an affected child. The clinical and biochemical findings in the three families are discussed.

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.
