SEC24C deficiency causes trafficking and glycosylation abnormalities in an epileptic encephalopathy with cataracts and dyserythropoeisis
Bibliographic record
Abstract
As a major component of intracellular trafficking, the coat protein complex II (COPII) is indispensable for cellular function during embryonic development and throughout life. The 4 SEC24 proteins (A-D) are essential COPII components involved in cargo selection and packaging. A human disorder corresponding to alterations of SEC24 function is currently known only for SEC24D. Here, we reported that biallelic loss of SEC24C leads to a syndrome characterized by primary microcephaly, brain anomalies, epilepsy, hearing loss, liver dysfunction, anemia, and cataracts in an extended consanguineous family with 4 affected individuals. We showed that knockout of sec24C in zebrafish recapitulated important aspects of the human phenotype. SEC24C-deficient fibroblasts displayed alterations in the expression of several COPII components as well as impaired anterograde trafficking to the Golgi, indicating a severe impact on COPII function. Transcriptome analysis revealed that SEC24C deficiency also affected the proteasome and autophagy pathways. Moreover, a shift in the N-glycosylation pattern and deregulation of the N-glycosylation pathway suggested a possible secondary alteration of protein glycosylation, linking the described disorder with the congenital disorders of glycosylation.

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.
