Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

A molecular diagnosis is currently achievable in approximately 50% of patients assessed by clinical geneticists at tertiary care centres. Next-Generation Sequencing Panels contain a defined group of genes associated with a clinically defined set of phenotypes. Most clinical sequencing providers streamline their wet-bench workflows by sequencing the entire exome or genome, followed by targeted bioinformatic extraction of variant data from a pre-specified gene set. Thus, additional data on these patients remain available but are only reviewed by special request. We interrogated clinical-grade sequencing data on two out of three affected members of a family with childhood-onset adrenal insufficiency in whom an autosomal recessive condition was suspected. Review of clinome data identified heterozygosity for CYP11A1 variants c.644T>C; p.(Phe215Ser) and c.1187G>A; p.(Arg396Lys) in both affected sibs. Long-read whole genome sequencing of the proband showed these variants were in trans, confirming compound heterozygosity and resolving the molecular etiology of the clinical diagnosis.

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.

Not 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.
