Abstract
BACKGROUND: Ebstein anomaly of the tricuspid valve is a congenital cardiac malformation characterised by downward displacement of the attachment of the septal and posterior leaflets of the tricuspid valve. Canine tricuspid valve malformation (CTVM) is morphologically similar to Ebstein anomaly; familial occurrence of CTVM has been described. Several observations suggest a genetic cause but most cases appear to be sporadic. METHODS: Three purebred Labrador Retriever kindreds enriched for CTVM underwent clinical examination and echocardiography. DNA was extracted from whole blood. Genotyping was carried out using polymorphic repeat markers with an average spacing of 15 cM and polymorphic information content of 0.74. RESULTS: Pedigree analysis identified CTVM segregating as an autosomal dominant trait with reduced penetrance. Genome wide linkage analysis in one kindred identified a CTVM susceptibility locus on dog chromosome 9 (CFA9) with a maximum multipoint lod score of 3.33. The two additional kindreds showed a conserved disease haplotype. CONCLUSIONS: This study identifies a CTVM susceptibility locus on CFA9 and a founder effect in apparently unrelated Labrador Retriever kindreds. These results provide the basis for a positional candidate cloning effort to identify the CTVM disease gene. Identification of the CTVM gene will permit mutation screening of patients with Ebstein anomaly, which should provide additional insights into the genetic programmes of valve development.

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
