Prenatal onset of the neuroradiologic phenotype of pyruvate carboxylase deficiency due to homozygous <scp><i>PC</i></scp> c.<scp>1828G</scp> > A mutations
Bibliographic record
Abstract
gene belong to type A, which typically has infantile onset, severe to profound developmental delay, hypotonia, and lactic acidemia. We report the neuroimaging abnormalities in a 33-week gestation infant homozygous for the c.1828G > A mutation. Brain magnetic resonance imaging on day 10 of life revealed increased T2 signal within the subcortical and periventricular white matter, an immature gyral pattern, large periventricular cysts with mass effect on the lateral ventricles, and dilatation of the occipital and temporal horns. Magnetic resonance spectroscopy showed reduced creatine and NAA peaks, a relatively high choline peak and no lactate peak. These findings were observed prior to the neonate experiencing any episodes of decompensation with lactic acidosis. The presence of these brain anomalies at this gestational age, prior to any metabolic decompensation, supports the essential role of PC in normal brain morphogenesis and the resulting in-utero brain anomalies secondary to its deficiency. Our experience with this affected premature infant and many others we have managed with the same founder mutation suggests that the clinical phenotypes of the type A and the more severe type B PC deficient patients are on a spectrum rather than distinct subtypes.

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.
