<scp>CAMTA1‐related</scp> disorder: Phenotypic and molecular characterization of 26 new individuals and literature review
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Calmodulin-binding transcriptional activator 1 (CAMTA1) is highly expressed in the brain and plays a role in cell cycle regulation, cell differentiation, regulation of long-term memory, and initial development, maturation, and survival of cerebellar neurons. The existence of human neurological phenotypes, including cerebellar dysfunction with variable cognitive and behavioral abnormalities (CECBA), associated with CAMTA1 variants, has further supported its role in brain functions. In this study, we phenotypically and molecularly characterize the largest cohort of individuals (n = 26) with 23 novel CAMTA1 variants (frameshift-7, nonsense-6, splicing-1, initiation codon-1, missense-5, and intragenic deletions-3) and compare the findings with all previously reported cases (total = 53). We show that the most notable phenotypic findings are developmental delay/intellectual disability, unsteady or uncoordinated gait, hypotonia, behavioral problems, and eye abnormalities. In addition, there is a high incidence of dysarthria, dysgraphia, microcephaly, gastrointestinal abnormalities, sleep difficulties, and nonspecific brain MRI findings; a few of which have been under-reported. More than one third of the variants in this cohort were inherited from an asymptomatic or mildly affected parent suggesting reduced penetrance and variable expressivity. Our cohort provides a comprehensive characterization of the spectrum of phenotypes and genotypes among individuals with CECBA and the large data will facilitate counseling and formulating management plans and surveillance recommendations for these individuals.

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.
