Hb Montreal II: A Novel Elongated β-Globin Variant Caused by a Frameshift Mutation [β142 (−C)]
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We report a novel elongated C-terminal beta hemoglobin (Hb) variant caused by a single nucleotide (C) deletion at codon 143 (nucleotide 480 of GenBank entry NM_000518). This deletion leads to the substitution of histidine 143 by threonine, and displaces the beta Hb gene stop codon from codon 147 to codon 157. It was identified in a 30-year-old man from Montreal, and called Hb Montreal II. This Hb variant differs from its normal counterpart by 14 residues, the latter 10 being identical to those observed in Hbs Tak, Cranston, Saverne, Trento, and Florida. The patient did not present thalassemic features but had a compensated chronic hemolysis with splenomegaly, red cell inclusion bodies, and a positive Kleihauer test.

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.
