Heterozygous <scp><i>NOTCH1</i></scp> deletion associated with variable congenital heart defects
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Pathogenic heterozygous variants in the NOTCH1 gene are known to be associated with both left and right-sided congenital cardiac anomalies with strikingly incomplete penetrance and variable phenotypic expressivity. De novo NOTCH1 whole gene deletion has been reported rarely in the literature and its association with cardiac defects is less well established. Here, we report four cases of NOTCH1 gene deletion from two families associated with a spectrum of congenital heart defects from bicuspid aortic valve to complex cardiac anomalies. This is the first description of a familial NOTCH1 deletion, showing apparently high penetrance, which may be unique to this mechanism of disease. Immunohistochemical staining of cardiac tissue demonstrated reduced levels of NOTCH1 expression in both the left and right ventricular outflow tracts. These cases suggest that haploinsufficiency caused by NOTCH1 gene deletion is associated with both mild and severe cardiac defects, similar to those caused by pathogenic variants in the gene, but with apparently higher, if not complete, penetrance.

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.
