MG-121 Complexity of phenotypes of females with unbalanced x-autosomal translocations exemplified by a case with 46, x,der (x)t (x;16)(p11.2;p13.2) karyotype
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Background Females with unbalanced X-autosomal translocations frequently exhibit skewed X-chromosome inactivation, as cells with the least functional imbalance have selective advantage. However, predicting the inactivation status of the translocated autosomal segment and its impact on phenotype is challenging. Active vs inactive state can depend on translocation breakpoint and sequence features of the translocated segment. Objective Report a case with 46,X,der (X)t (X;16)(p11.2;p13.2) karyotype and discuss karyotype/phenotype correlations. Results We report a 18 month old girl with intrauterine growth restriction, failure to thrive, cardiac anomalies and dysmorphic features. Oligonucleotide microarray has revealed a terminal ~9 Mb gain of chromosome 16p and terminal loss of most of Xp. A de novo unbalanced translocation t (X;16)(p11.2;p13.2) was confirmed by karyotype analysis and family studies. Androgen receptor assay further showed complete skewing of X-inactivation, suggesting that derivative X-chromosome was inactive. Phenotype of our patient was not fully consistent with either Xp deletion or 16p13.3 duplication, leaving a question about inactivation status of the translocated 16p material. A case with 46, X,der (X) t (X;16)(q28;p12) karyotype and phenotype consistent with 16p13.3 duplication syndrome was previously reported. Replication studies have shown skewed inactivation of the der (X), not spreading into 16p translocated segment.1 Conclusions Our patient phenotype suggests that while Androgen Receptor assay provides valuable information in regard of X-inactivation skewing, it has limitations for karyotype/phenotype correlations for patients with unbalanced X-autosomal translocation. Additional analysis of inactivation status of the genes of the translocated segment is underway to understand the phenotype of our patient.

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.
