Demographic, clinical, immunological, and molecular features of iranian national cohort of patients with defect in DCLRE1C gene
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: DCLRE1C gene mutation leads to Artemis deficiency, a severe form of combined immunodeficiency (SCID). Impaired DNA repair and block in early adaptive immunity maturation results in T-B-NK+ immunodeficiency associated with radiosensitivity. Recurrent infections early in life are the main characteristic of Artemis patients. METHOD: Among 5373 registered patients, 9 Iranian patients (33.3% female) with confirmed DCLRE1C mutation were identified since 1999-2022. The demographic, clinical, immunological and genetic features were collected through retrospective investigation of medical records and using next generation sequencing. RESULTS: Seven patients were born in a consanguineous family (77.8%). The median age of onset was 6.0 (5.0-17.0) months. Severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) was clinically detected at a median (IQR) age of 7.0 (6.0-20.5) months, following a median diagnostic delay of 2.0 (1.0-3.5) months The most typical first presentation was pneumonia (44.4%) and otitis media (3.33%), followed by BCG lymphadenitis (22.2%) and gastroenteritis (11.1%). The most prevalent manifestations were respiratory tract infections (including otitis media) (66.6%) and chronic diarrhea (66.6%). In addition, juvenile idiopathic arthritis (P5) and celiac disease and idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (P9) as autoimmune disorders were reported in 2 patients. All patients had reduced B CD19+ and CD4+ cell counts. IgA deficiency occurred in 77.8% of individuals. CONCLUSION: Recurrent infections particulary respiratory tract infection and chronic diarrhea during the first months of life in patients born to consanguineous parents should raise the suspicion for inborn errors of immunity, even in the presence of normal growth and development.

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.
