A locus for Bowen–Conradi syndrome maps to chromosome region 12p13.3
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Bowen-Conradi syndrome (BCS) is a lethal autosomal recessive disorder with an estimated incidence of 1 in 355 live births in the Hutterite population. A few cases have been reported in other populations. Here, we report the results of a genome-wide scan and fine mapping of the BCS locus in Hutterite families. By linkage and haplotype analysis the BCS locus was mapped to a 3.5 cM segment (1.9 Mbp) in chromosome region 12p13.3 bounded by F8VWF and D12S397. When genealogical relationships among the families were taken into account in the linkage analysis, the evidence for linkage was stronger and the number of potentially linked regions was reduced to one. Under the assumption that all the Hutterite patients were identical by descent for a disease-causing mutation, haplotype analysis was used to infer likely historical recombinants and thereby narrow the candidate region to a chromosomal segment shared in common by all the affected children. This study also demonstrates that BCS and cerebro-oculo-facial-skeletal syndrome (COFS) are genetically distinct.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
