Biallelic DNAJC3 variants in a neuroendocrine developmental disorder with insulin dysregulation
Bibliographic record
Abstract
DNAJC3, a co-chaperone of BiP, is a member of the heat shock protein family. These proteins are produced in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to counter cell stress resulting from healthy functional protein processing. Dysregulation of unfolded proteins within the ER is implicated as a mechanism of genetic disease. Examples include Marinesco-Sjogren and Wolcott-Rallison syndromes that share similar clinical features, manifesting neurodegenerative disease and endocrine dysfunction. Recently, loss of function mutations in DNAJC3 was associated with syndromic diabetes mellitus in three families. The full phenotype included neurodegeneration, ataxia, deafness, neuropathy, adolescent-onset diabetes mellitus, growth hormone deficiency and hypothyroidism. A subsequent report of two unrelated individuals extended the phenotype to include early-onset hyperinsulinaemic hypoglycaemia. Here, we describe two siblings that recapitulate this extended phenotype in association with a homozygous novel mutation in the final exon of DNAJC3 [c.1367_1370delAGAA (p.Lys456SerfsTer85)] resulting in protein elongation predicted to abrogate the functional J domain. This report confirms DNAJC3 as a cause of syndromic congenital hyperinsulinaemic hypoglycaemia. Currently, PanelApp only includes this gene on diabetes mellitus panels. We propose DNAJC3 should be promoted from a red to a green gene on a wider number of panels to improve the diagnosis of this rare condition.

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.
