Adaptive Functioning Development in Infants With Agenesis of the Corpus Callosum
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Agenesis of the corpus callosum (ACC) is a common congenital brain malformation. Early development in ACC remains unexamined, despite the increased likelihood for developmental delays and autistic behaviors. This study compares adaptive functioning in infants/toddlers with isolated ACC to children with other neurodevelopmental conditions and typical development. METHODS: Parents of children with ACC completed the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scale Interview at 6, 12, 18, and 24 months as part of a prospective longitudinal study. Comparison groups included children with fragile X, Down syndrome, high familial likelihood of autism spectrum disorder (both with and without autism spectrum diagnosis), and typical development (total n = 957; total assessments = 2676). RESULTS: By 24 months, 29% of children with ACC were delayed in at least 1 domain. Linear mixed effect models showed significant group × time point interactions in all domains. Post-hoc comparisons revealed the ACC group had poorer performance in communication by 6, motor by 12, and daily living by 18 months but equivalent socialization compared with typically developing children; stronger skills across most domains and time points compared with genetic groups; and equivalent communication, stronger socialization, and weaker motor skills compared with the autism group. CONCLUSIONS: Although there is significant variability, on average, ACC compromises communication skills by 6 months, with reduced motor and daily living skills by 12 and 18 months, respectively. Multipronged intervention programs are needed for ACC beginning early in the first year of life, possibly leveraging early strengths in social skills.

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.
