Late-Onset Glycogen Storage Disease Type 2
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Glycogenosis II (GSDII) is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder resulting from acid alpha-glucosidase (GAA) deficiency, subsequent lysosomal accumulation of glycogen in muscles, impairment of autophagic processes and progressive cardiac, motor and respiratory failure. The infantile form usually appears in the first month of life, progresses rapidly and presents with severe cardiac involvement and complete deficiency of alpha-glucosidase activity (< 1% of normal controls). The late-onset form is characterized by great variability of the phenotypical spectrum. Main findings are muscle weakness and severe respiratory insufficiency while cardiac involvement may be completely absent. Residual GAA enzyme activity may correlate with severity of phenotype but many adult patients sharing the same mutations present with a wide variability in residual enzyme activity, age of onset and rate of disease progression, thus supporting a role for other factors, i.e., post-translational modifications and modifier genes, in modulating disease presentation. Enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) with alglucosidase alfa stabilizes the disease or improves muscle and/or respiratory function. However, efficacy of ERT may be influenced by several factors including age when ERT begins, extent of muscle damage, degree of defective autophagy, diversity in muscle fiber composition, difficulties in delivery of the therapeutic agent and antibody production. Further studies should be warranted to investigate factors determining the differences in clinical expression and therapeutic response in order to achieve better clinical and therapeutic management of these patients.

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.
