Mutation of <i>serine/threonine protein kinase 36</i> ( <i>STK36</i> ) causes primary ciliary dyskinesia with a central pair defect
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a genetic condition of impaired ciliary beating, characterized by chronic infections of the upper and lower airways and progressive lung failure. Defects of the outer dynein arms are the most common cause of PCD. In about half of the affected individuals, PCD occurs with situs inversus (Kartagener syndrome). A minor PCD subgroup including defects of the radial spokes (RS) and central pair (CP) is hallmarked by the absence of laterality defects, subtle beating abnormalities, and unequivocally apparent ultrastructural defects of the ciliary axoneme, making their diagnosis challenging. We identified homozygous loss-of-function mutations in STK36 in one PCD-affected individual with situs solitus. Transmission electron microscopy analysis demonstrates that STK36 is required for cilia orientation in human respiratory epithelial cells, with a probable localization of STK36 between the RS and CP. STK36 screening can now be included for this rare and difficult to diagnose PCD subgroup.

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.
