Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

UBR5 encodes an E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase which targets distinct N-terminal residues of proteins for degradation. Heterozygous loss-of-function variants were reported in patients with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and developmental delay, and recently in a cohort of individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders and variable other features. Here, we report three unrelated individuals with de novo loss-of-function variants in UBR5, presenting with ASD and intellectual disability. We review the literature for other de novo predicted loss-of-function variants in probands with ASD or developmental delay (in total n = 11 variants), providing further evidence that UBR5 haploinsufficiency is associated with ASD and atypical neurodevelopmental trajectories, including developmental delay and intellectual disability.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
