Osteogenesis imperfecta type V: marked phenotypic variability despite the presence of the <i>IFITM5</i> c.−14C>T mutation in all patients
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) type V is an autosomal dominant bone fragility disorder that we had described a decade ago. Recent research has shown that OI type V is caused by a recurrent c.-14C>T mutation in IFITM5. In the present study, we assessed all patients diagnosed with OI type V at our institutions for the presence of the IFITM5 mutation. METHODS: IFITM5 exon 1 was analysed by Sanger sequencing in genomic DNA from 42 patients with OI type V (age: 2-67 years; 18 female). RESULTS: The c.-14C>T mutation of IFITM5 was detected in all individuals. Indicators of disease severity varied widely: Height z-scores (n=38) ranged from -8.7 to -0.1, median -3.5. Median final height was 147 cm in men (N=15) and 145 cm in women (N=10). Lumbar spine areal bone mineral density z-scores in the absence of bisphosphonate treatment (n=29) were between -7.7 and -0.7, median -5.3. Scoliosis was present in 57%, vertebral compression fractures in 90% of patients. CONCLUSIONS: Even though the disease-causing mutation is identical among patients with OI type V, the interindividual phenotypic variability is considerable.

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.
