Epidemiology of Huntington’s disease in Slovenia
Bibliographic record
Abstract
OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study was to estimate the prevalence of Huntington's disease (HD) in Slovenia using direct mutation analysis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Symptomatic patients and presymptomatic individuals at risk for HD referred to the Institute of Medical Genetics between 1997 and 2007 were included in the study. The patients were ascertained through multiple sources. The prevalence was estimated on 31 December 2006. RESULTS: A total of 116 and 68 individuals with CAG repeat number >36 were symptomatic and presymptomatic, respectively. The prevalence of HD in Slovenia was estimated at 5.16/10(5) (95% confidence interval 4.16-6.16). CONCLUSIONS: This is the first report on the epidemiology and prevalence of HD in Slovenia. The prevalence of HD is comparable with previously reported data in other European countries. In Slovenia, a higher proportion of individuals at risk for HD decide on predictive mutational testing as compared with the estimated numbers for Europe, United States, Canada and Australia.

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.
