Neuropsychological Profile of a Girl with Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We report the neuropsychological profile of a 6-year-old girl with Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome, a rare X-linked immunodeficiency disorder associated with thrombocytopenia, eczema, recurrent infections, and malignancy. Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome occurs almost exclusively in males and is extremely rare in females, with no known research focused on cognitive and academic functioning in this population. Our patient was referred due to concerns about her memory and academic functioning. She had a history of progressive thrombocytopenia and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation at age 15 months. Standardized measures of intellectual ability, language, visual-spatial and visual-motor skills, attention, memory, and academic achievement were administered. The results showed average to above-average performance in multiple areas of cognitive and academic functioning, with weaknesses in phonological awareness and rapid naming. The advent of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation has led to considerable improvement in the long-term prognosis of children with Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome. Although the impact of this syndrome and related conditions on neurocognitive development is presently unknown, this case highlights both the importance of considering base rates for commonly occurring conditions and the significant role neuropsychology can play in identifying cognitive strengths and weaknesses in the context of the developing brain.

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.
