Clinical Features of a Newly Described Mutation of Myelin Protein Zero in a Family
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease is the most common hereditary neuropathy. Duplication of the peripheral myelin protein-22 (PMP22) gene is the most frequent genetic abnormality in CMT disease. Although rare compared to PMP22 gene mutations, many different myelin protein zero (MPZ) gene mutations have been described in patients with CMT disease. MPZ gene mutations are known to cause hereditary neuropathies with heterogenous phenotypes ranging from early-onset severe demyelinating to adult-onset axonal forms. MPZ, the major protein component of peripheral nerve myelin, is important for myelin compaction. We report a family in which a mother and her son, both with adult-onset CMT disease, showed a newly described mutation p.Glu37Lys of the MPZ gene. The clinical features of the mother provided insight into the progression of the disease over decades, while features in the early stage of the disease could be studied in the son. Clinical, electrodiagnostic, and sonographic findings are described in the early and late stages of the disease. The MPZ gene mutation p.Glu37Lys is associated with clinical features of a progressive axonal type of adult-onset CMT disease.

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; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
