Modelling erythropoiesis in congenital dyserythropoietic anaemia type I (CDA-I)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract We employ and extensively characterise an ex vivo culture system to study terminal erythroid maturation of CD34 + progenitors from the peripheral blood of normal individuals and patients with Congenital Dyserythropoietic Anaemia type 1 (CDA-I). Using morphological analysis, FACS analysis and the proteomic approach CyTOF, we analysed patient-derived erythroblasts stage-matched with those from healthy donors during the expansion phase and into early differentiation. In patient cells, aspects of disordered erythropoiesis manifest midway through differentiation, including increased proliferation and changes in the DNA accessibility profile. We also show that cultured erythroblasts from CDA-I patients recapitulate the pathognomic feature of this erythroid disorder with up to 40% of the cells having abnormal ‘spongy’ chromatin morphology by electron microscopy, as well as upregulation of GDF15, a marker of ineffective erythropoiesis. In the tertiary phase of culture, patient cells show significantly less enucleation and there is persistence of earlier erythroid precursors. Furthermore, the enucleation defect appears to be more severe in patients with mutations in C15orf41 , as compared to the other known causative gene CDAN1 , indicating a genotype/phenotype correlation in CDA-I. Such erythroblasts are a valuable resource for investigating the pathogenesis of this disease and provide the opportunity for streamlining diagnosis for CDA-I patients and ultimately other forms of unexplained anaemia.

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.
