Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract Background Constitutional heterologous double Robertsonian translocations (DRT) between chromosomes 13/14 and chromosomes 14/15 with 44 chromosomes are extremely rare. In this case report, we present the karyotype analysis of metaphases prepared from bone marrow, peripheral blood and cultured skin tissue cells. These showed only 44 chromosomes with DRT involving chromosomes 13, 14 and 15. To our knowledge this is the first reported case with DRT involving chromosomes 14 and 15. Case presentation The patient is an 81-year-old infertile male with a history of persistent macrocytic anemia (MA). The patient presented with fatigue, paleness of the skin, shortness of breath, lightheadedness and occasional dizziness. Work-up for common causes of macrocytic anemias in this case were excluded: folate/vitamin B12 deficiency, hypothyroidism, liver diseases, hemolysis, bleeding, alcoholism, exposure, HIV infection, chemotherapy or blood loss, drug-toxicity effect, or myelodysplasia. This individual with DRT had only six nucleolus organizer regions (NORs), instead of the usual ten, of which 50% of the 6 NORs were inactive ( n = 3). Conclusion In this case, macrocytic anemia (MA) appeared to be due to reduction in active NORs in DRT. We postulate that the marked reduction in active NORs leads to reduction in active nucleoli formation, which may be limiting ribosomal RNA synthesis, contributing to MA. It is probable that reduction in NOR activity affected normal DNA synthesis and cellular functions.

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
