De Novo Heterozygous Mutation in FGFR2 Causing Type II Pfeiffer Syndrome
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Pfeiffer syndrome (PS) is an autosomal dominant disorder with three subtypes stemming from heterozygous mutations in the fibroblast growth factors FGFR1 and FGFR2. The subtypes overlap with heterogeneous clinical manifestations and variable prognosis dependent on neurological and respiratory compromise that impact short- and long-term outcomes and survival. We present a male, term infant with type II PS that was diagnostically suspected antenatally based on three-dimensional ultrasonographic findings that were confirmed postnatally by craniofacial tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. A new generation sequencing panel identified a unique de novo FGFR2, c.335 A > G p. Tyr112Cys variant, the first of its kind, and features that closely aligned with subtype II PS. Initial molecular results categorized the mutation as nonpathogenic, but it was later reclassified as pathogenic. Antenatal, multidisciplinary parental counseling about the tentative diagnosis and prognosis facilitated postnatal decisions that culminated in an informed choice for palliative care and early demise.

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.
