Overall, TSC2 mutations have been associated with a more severe disease phenotype than TSC1 mutations. We report the clinical and molecular features in16 families with TSC2 mutations and mild phenotypes. Method: We carried out a detailed study of the TSC phenotype and genotype in a large French-Canadian kindred (Family A). In addition, clinical and molecular data on 15 families with mutations at the same codon were collected. Functional studies were performed on three different missense mutations and related to the phenotypes. Results: A 2714G > A (R905Q) missense mutation in exon 23 of TSC2 was identified in 25 individuals in Family A. The TSC phenotype in this family was unusually mild, characterised mainly by depigmented skin lesions and by seizures that remitted spontaneously or that were easily controlled with antiepileptic drugs. Diagnostic criteria were met in only a minority of family members, delaying diagnosis. All other families with the R905Q mutation were found to have a similar mild phenotype. Patients with a 2713C > T (R905W) mutation or a 2713C > G (R905G) mutation had a more severe phenotype. In 3 different assays, the R905W and R905G substitutions had a more severe effect on tuberin function than the R905Q substitution. Conclusion: We identified 16 families with codon 905 missense changes in TSC2. In the R905Q families, the TSC phenotype was unusually mild, consistent with the functional studies. Our findings support the observation that familial TSC is less severe than sporadic TSC, even when it is due to a TSC2 mutation. Genotype-phenotype correlations indicate that mild TSC phenotypes may be associated with specific TSC2 mutations.

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; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
