Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This article is a distillation and extension of some of themes I presented as a lecture to the Canadian Society of Clinical Investigation meeting in Banff in 2019. I emphasize the important role that investigation of a few key families seen in our clinic (sometimes as few as one) can play in cancer genetic discovery. I present the work both thematically and chronologically, demonstrating how clinical observation, combined with laboratory work and extensive collaboration can lead to novel insights. I will focus on families possessing germline pathogenic variants in PALB2, DICER1, SMARCA4, FGFR1 and RAD51D as examples of how the process has been carried out in our group.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not 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.
