CDG‐IL: An infant with a novel mutation in the<i>ALG9</i>gene and additional phenotypic features
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We describe the second case of congenital disorder of glycosylation type IL (CDG-IL) caused by deficiency of the ALG9 a1,2 mannosyltransferase enzyme. The female infant's features included psychomotor retardation, seizures, hypotonia, diffuse brain atrophy with delayed myelination, failure to thrive, pericardial effusion, cystic renal disease, hepatosplenomegaly, esotropia, and inverted nipples. Lipodystrophy and dysmorphic facial features were absent. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain showed volume loss in the cerebral hemispheres and cerebellum and delayed myelination. Laboratory investigations revealed low levels of multiple serum proteins including antithrombin III, factor XI, and cholesterol. Hypoglycosylation was confirmed by the typical CDG type 1 pattern of serum transferrin analyzed by isoelectric focusing. A defect in the ALG9 enzyme was suggested by the accumulation of the DolPP-GlcNAc2Man6 and DolPP-GlcNAc2Man8 in the patient's fibroblasts and confirmed by mutation analysis: the patient is homozygous for the ALG9 mutation p.Y286C. The causal effect of the mutation was shown by complementation assays in alg9 deficient yeast cells. The child described here further delineates the clinical spectrum of CDG-IL and confirms the significant clinical overlap amongst CDG subtypes.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
