Novel mutation in the Δ‐sterol reductase gene in three Lebanese sibs with Smith‐Lemli‐Opitz (RSH) syndrome
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome (SLOS), or RSH syndrome, is a well-characterized multiple congenital anomalies/mental retardation syndrome. The phenotype has been redefined to include mildly affected individuals with minor anomalies and developmental delay, and severe malformations with pre- and perinatal mortality. The condition is due to the deficient activity of the enzyme 7-dehydrocholesterol (7-DHC) reductase [Shefer et al., 1995: J Clin Invest 96:1779-1785], and the gene has been mapped to chromosome 11q13 [Moebius et al., 1998: Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 95:1899-1902]. We describe here a consanguineous family of Syrian-Lebanese ancestry with three sibs affected with SLOS: two with a mild variant, while the other had severe disease and died in the first year of life. Mutation analysis demonstrated a novel mutation in the DHCR7 gene, present in homozygous form in the two affected individuals available for testing, and heterozygous in the parents. The wide intrafamilial variation of clinical severity in these three sibs is an important finding in SLOS.

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.
