Dyssegmental dysplasia, Silverman‐Handmaker type: A challenging antenatal diagnosis in a dizygotic twin pregnancy
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Dyssegmental dysplasia Silverman-Handmaker (DDSH; MIM 224410) type is an extremely rare skeletal dysplasia caused by functional null mutations in the perlecan gene. Less than forty cases are reported in the literature, of which only four were prenatally detected. METHODS: We report on a dizygotic twin pregnancy from consanguineous parents for which one of the twins presented prenatally with severe micromelia, limb bowing and scoliosis, and postnatally with clinical and radiological features compatible with a diagnosis of dyssegmental dysplasia. Molecular studies were undertaken to confirm the clinical diagnosis of DDSH. RESULTS: Molecular analysis results revealed a novel homozygous variant in the HSPG2 gene (MIM 142461), NM_005529.6(HSPG2):c.4029 + 1G>A, consistent with a diagnosis of DDSH. CONCLUSION: To the best of our knowledge, the current report is only the seventh molecularly confirmed case of DDSH.

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.
