<i>RTN4IP1</i> -associated non-syndromic optic neuropathy and rod-cone dystrophy
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Biallelic variants in RTN4IP1 are a well-established cause of syndromic and nonsyndromic early-onset autosomal recessive optic neuropathy. They have more recently been reported to cause a concomitant but later-onset rod-cone dystrophy with or without syndromic features. METHODS: A comprehensive evaluation was performed that included assessment of visual and retinal function, clinical examination, and retinal imaging. Childhood ophthalmic records as well as the results of genetic testing were evaluated. RESULTS: A 24-year-old female described longstanding reduced visual acuity with more recent subjective impairment of dark adaptation. Visual acuity was subnormal in both eyes. Goldmann kinetic perimetry demonstrated scotomas in a pattern consistent with the presence of both optic neuropathy and rod-cone dystrophy with fundus exam as well as retinal imaging showing corroborating findings. Full-field electroretinography further confirmed the presence of a rod-cone dystrophy. Genetic testing demonstrated biallelic variants in RTN4IP1, one of which was novel, in association with the ocular findings. CONCLUSIONS: RTN4IP1-associated early-onset bilateral optic neuropathy with rod-cone dystrophy is a recently described clinical entity with limited reports available to-date. The present case provides additional support for this dual phenotype and identifies a novel causative variant.

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.
