Deletion of Exon 1 in AMER1 in Osteopathia Striata with Cranial Sclerosis
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Osteopathia striata with cranial sclerosis (OSCS) is an X-linked dominant condition characterised by metaphyseal striations, macrocephaly, cleft palate, and developmental delay in affected females. Males have a more severe phenotype with multi-organ malformations, and rarely survive. To date, only frameshift and nonsense variants in exon 2, the single coding exon of AMER1, or whole gene deletions have been reported to cause OSCS. In this study, we describe two families with phenotypic features typical of OSCS. Exome sequencing and multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) did not identify pathogenic variants in AMER1. Therefore, genome sequencing was employed which identified two deletions containing the non-coding exon 1 of AMER1 in the families. These families highlight the importance of considering variants or deletions of upstream non-coding exons in conditions such as OSCS, noting that often such exons are not captured on probe or enrichment-based platforms because of their high G/C content.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
