Abstract
Context: Hajdu-Cheney syndrome (HJCYS) is a rare, multisystem bone disease caused by heterozygous mutations in the NOTCH2 gene. Histomorphometric and bone ultrastructural analyses in children have not been reported and sparse evidence exists on response to bisphosphonate (BP) therapy. Objective: To investigate clinical and bone histomorphometric characteristics, bone matrix mineralization, and the response of bone geometry and density to BP therapy. Patients: Five children with HJCYS (three males) between 6.7 and 15.3 years of age. Interventions: Various BP regimens (pamidronate, zoledronic acid, and alendronate) were used for between 1 and 10 years. Main Outcome Measures: Pretreatment transiliac bone biopsy specimens and peripheral quantitative computed tomography results were available in four and three subjects, respectively. Bone histomorphometry and quantitative backscattered electron imaging were performed in two patients. The response to BP was monitored using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and peripheral quantitative computed tomography. Results: Three patients had previously unreported NOTCH2 mutations. Histomorphometry demonstrated increased bone resorption and osteoclast numbers, increased heterogeneity of mineralization, and immature, woven bone. Trabecular bone formation was normal or elevated. Radius cortical thickness and density and lumbar spine bone mineral density were reduced at baseline and increased in response to BP therapy, which was not sustained after therapy discontinuation. Conclusions: Increased bone resorption and low cortical thickness are consistent with the effect of activating NOTCH2 mutations, which stimulate osteoclastogenesis. The increase in lumbar spine bone density and radial cortical thickness and density by BP therapy provides evidence of beneficial treatment effects in children with HJCYS.

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
