Clinical and genetic characteristics of rare variants of acromelic skeletal dysplasias caused by mutations in the <i>FBN1</i> gene
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Geleophysic dysplasia and acromicric dysplasia are rare hereditary diseases characterized by dwarfism and dysplastic skeletal features. In the literature, only a few cases of geleophysic dysplasia and acromicric dysplasia caused by mutations in the FBN1 gene are described. CLINICAL CASES: A description of the clinical and genetic characteristics of three female patients with acromelic dysplasias caused by three types of missense mutations in the FBN1 gene is presented. In two patients, on the basis of clinical manifestations and radiographic examination, acromicric dysplasia, and in one patient geleophysic dysplasia were diagnosed. It was shown that all identified mutations were localized in exons of the FBN1 gene encoding the amino acid sequence of the fifth domain, which has homology with transforming growth factor-beta. DISCUSSION: We have analyzed the clinical and genetic correlations to confirm the previously stated hypothesis about the occurrence of a severe phenotype of geleophysic dysplasia in patients with the c.5206T C mutation. This mutation is characterized by the replacement of cysteine by arginine in the position of the polypeptide chain leading to moderate clinical manifestations of acromicric dysplasia in patients with the c.5284 G A (p. Gly1762Ser). It was shown that the previously undescribed substitution c.5177G A (p.Gly1726Asp and another previously described mutation in this codon resulted in the replacement of glutamine with valine. This mutation causes the appearance of a less pronounced phenotype of AD. CONCLUSIONS: Based on the results of the examination of three Russian patients and analysis of clinical and radiographic parameters described in the literature, we reported that mutations in the FBN1 gene disrupted the amino acid sequence of the fifth like transforming growth factor-beta domain of fibrillin type 1. Importantly, these mutations are responsible for the occurrence of geleophysic dysplasia and acromicric dysplasia. However, the most severe clinical manifestations were observed in patients with mutations leading to the substitution of cysteine for arginine at the position of the polypeptide chain 1736. This may lead to affecting the transforming growth factor-beta signaling pathway.

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.
