Abstract

A 12-year-old boy currently is followed by multiple subspecialists for problems caused by the chromosome 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11DS) (Figure). He was born via spontaneous vaginal delivery, weighing 3033 g, to a 31-year-old G3P3 mother after a full-term pregnancy complicated only by mild polyhydramnios. Family history was non-contributory. Apgar scores were 8 at 1 minute and 9 at 5 minutes. With the exception of a weak cry, the results of the infant’s initial examination were unremarkable, and he was moved to the well-baby nursery.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • 22q11.2 and 16p11.2 deletions can also be found in healthy individuals, which is consistent with incomplete penetrance.

    “The deletions can also be detected in healthy individuals, an observation consistent with incomplete penetrance (50,96)”
  • 22q11.2 and 16p11.2 deletions are associated with variable severity with various neuropsychiatric disorders, including ASD, intellectual disability, and schizophrenia.

    “Both deletions are in fact associated, with variable severity, with various neuropsychiatric disorders, including ASD, ID and schizophrenia, among others (50,96).”
  • Incomplete penetrance is true for most of the ASD genes and loci identified so far.

    “which is true for most of the genes and loci that have been identified.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
