LONGITUDINAL PHENOTYPE

Chronology shows what a static diagnosis cannot.

The full cohort contains 69 dated or age-anchored rows and 33 retrospective load-state windows. Most windows remain incomplete. Fifteen deep packets inform the synthesis; 11 public-safe trajectories are shown below, while the wider source layer contributes only to aggregate pattern mapping.

01Baseline

Usual function and active medical burdens before the change.

02Context / load

Sleep, illness, bowel or fuel, pain, puberty, medication, procedure, or environment.

03Change

What became newly present, newly absent, less reliable, or different from the person’s own baseline.

04Measurement

The record, examination, EEG, laboratory, imaging, video, school, or therapy evidence that can answer the question.

05Intervention

Treatment, support, procedure, exposure removal, rehabilitation, or no intervention recorded.

06Recovery

Complete, partial, delayed, absent, recurrent, or a new baseline.

WHAT IS VISIBLE NOW, ACROSS AGES

The source map reaches from infancy through adulthood.

Each clinical cell shows positive people / people with any mapped information in that current-age band. Current age is not age of onset, and older participants have had more time to accumulate both findings and records.

9 people

Infancy & toddler years

Early feeding mechanics, neonatal or infant events, hypotonia, communication, constipation, ENT burden, growth, and illness-linked change are already visible. Most histories remain family-reported rather than prospectively measured.

20 people

Childhood 4–11

Language access, school supports, seizures and EEG, sleep, oral texture and dentition, bowel or fuel state, movement, feet, ENT, and state-linked change become easier to compare—but remain unevenly documented.

13 people

Adolescence 12–17

Puberty, cycle-linked windows, seizure burden, bone and fracture context, adult dentition, GI or fuel effects, school participation, regulation, and medication response require explicit time anchors.

17 people

Adulthood 18+

Persistent communication and adaptive needs, memory access, epilepsy, sleep, cardiac/autonomic disease, immune and barrier findings, bone burden, mental health, living supports, and rare high-consequence events remain part of the phenotype.

One deceased participant and one person whose current age is unreported remain in the 61-person roster but are not used to infer an age trajectory.

AGE-ORDERED TRAJECTORIES

The signal is in the trajectory—not the diagnosis alone.

Static counts cannot show whether a change was persistent, episodic, treatment-linked, or followed by recovery. These de-identified profiles align baseline, surrounding physiologic state, objective anchors, intervention or exposure, and the resulting recovery, persistence, recurrence, or new baseline. Every layer is labeled so reported history, observation, formal evidence, and interpretation cannot be mistaken for one another.

Functional trajectory

Acquisition, plateau, regression, episodic loss of access, recovery, persistence, and a new baseline remain distinct.

Physiologic context

Illness, seizures, sleep, bowel or fuel state, pain, puberty, medication, anesthesia, hospitalization, and environment stay time-linked.

Objective anchors

Genetics, EEG, imaging or PET, laboratory, cardiac, ENT, sleep, procedure, school, and therapy records are named when available.

Multisystem course

Language, motor, oral–GI, ENT, immune or barrier, movement or pain, cardiac or autonomic, endocrine, bone, and adult function are read together.

  • Direct formal record
  • Reported formal or clinical content
  • Parent-observed chronology
  • Source or interpretive boundary
LS01Adult

Nonsense loss-of-function

Childhood physiological stress and mobility loss preceded adult rhythm and multisystem follow-up.

  • cardiac / rhythm
  • ENT / hearing
  • sleep / fatigue
  • adult function
  • Formal record

    Cardiology and hospital records document ventricular ectopy, ablation, and continued rhythm follow-up.

  • Reported clinical history

    Recurrent ENT or respiratory burden, fatigue, night sweats, hearing change, speech and intellectual disability, tics, and heavy sleep remain reported clinical history.

  • Parent-observed chronology

    Earlier illness, loss of walking, and overload-linked shutdown are preserved as time-ordered observations.

  • Interpretive limit

    The early stress window does not establish the cause of later findings; persistence, recurrence, and acquired diagnoses require current measurement.

LS02Young adult

Nonsense loss-of-function

A school-age epilepsy history became an adult question about EEG persistence, sleep, medication, and cycle-linked events.

  • seizure / EEG
  • ENT / hearing
  • puberty
  • autonomic
  • Reported formal history

    Clinical summaries preserve absence epilepsy, repeated abnormal-EEG reports, treatment transitions, auditory-processing and language burden, prior airway or ear procedures, hypotonia, joint laxity, and early puberty.

  • Observed chronology

    Sleep talking or movement and one stiff fainting-like event around menstrual onset remain time-linked observations.

  • Interpretive limit

    Event type, cardiac rhythm, autonomic physiology, and seizure mechanism remain unresolved without contemporaneous capture.

LS03Adolescent

Missense

Restricted intake, pica, low-glucose states, cyclic vomiting, constipation-linked emesis, and oral-product intolerance formed one gut–fuel question.

  • oral / sensory
  • GI / bowel
  • fuel state
  • growth
  • Observed chronology

    The structured history separates narrow intake and growth burden from pica, hypoglycemia or ketosis, cyclic vomiting, constipation-triggered emesis, and toothpaste intolerance.

  • Source limit

    Direct system reports and a complete molecular packet remain incomplete.

  • Interpretive limit

    Co-occurrence does not make these findings one mechanism or one diagnosis.

LS04Adolescent

Nonsense loss-of-function

Language and motor access worsened during seizure escalation and improved after treatment.

  • language access
  • seizure / EEG
  • motor
  • medication
  • Reported formal history

    The dossier preserves early speech-motor difficulty, reflux, airway surgery, absence epilepsy, later convulsive breakthroughs, and treatment history.

  • Observed chronology

    Functional loss and later improvement are recorded around seizure escalation and treatment.

  • Interpretive limit

    The chronology supports a state-access question; it does not establish a single mechanism for regression.

LS05Preteen

Frameshift loss-of-function

Dentition, chewing, oral tissue, and a formal cerebellar PET result require one chronology but separate interpretations.

  • dentition
  • chewing
  • oral mucosa
  • motor / imaging
  • Formal imaging

    A brain 18F-FDG PET report documents severely reduced uptake in both cerebellar hemispheres with preserved uptake elsewhere.

  • Parent-observed chronology

    Late eruption, retained primary teeth, absent or inefficient chewing, soft-food dependence, mouth-open sleep, and selected oral-product reactions form the observed oral course.

  • Reported clinical history

    Earlier thyroid, kidney, or liver concerns remain reported context pending complete primary records.

  • Interpretive limit

    The PET is one objective case-level finding; it does not establish a cohort imaging phenotype or explain the oral-motor course by itself.

LS07Child

Missense VUS

Epilepsy and acute cardiorespiratory change were formally recorded; later mobility loss and recovery were family observed.

  • seizure
  • cardiorespiratory
  • mobility
  • pain / gait
  • Formal record

    Emergency material supports epilepsy with desaturation and bradycardia during an acute event. The molecular panel found an ASH1L missense VUS and no pathogenic or likely pathogenic explanation for the primary phenotype.

  • Observed chronology

    Family history preserves a prolonged hospitalization, temporary wheelchair use, intensive rehabilitation, later recovery, persistent leg pain, and gait asymmetry.

  • Interpretive limit

    The clinical events are real; the available molecular result does not establish that ASH1L caused them.

LS08Child

Frameshift loss-of-function

Movement, ENT disease, anesthesia response, GI markers, and a buccal respiratory-chain assay require separate evidence labels.

  • movement
  • ENT / airway
  • GI
  • anesthesia / energy
  • Reported formal ENT history

    A recovered clinical extract preserves right mastoid fluid, bilateral ethmoid and maxillary inflammatory change, mild adenoidal hypertrophy, and later adenoidectomy. The primary imaging and operative reports remain to be recovered.

  • Direct formal assay

    A buccal-cell report gave a Complex IV/CS value at 38% of control while Complex I/CS was within that laboratory’s range, with low free and total carnitine.

  • Parent-observed chronology

    Intermittent one-sided movements and post-anesthesia change are preserved separately from the formal results.

  • Interpretive limit

    The assay was research-use/LDT, RC-I activity-assay validation was incomplete, and repeat testing was recommended. It does not establish systemic or brain Complex IV deficiency.

LS09Child

Nonsense loss-of-function

A thin source layer identifies speech, behavior, head-growth, and ophthalmic questions without pretending to answer them.

  • development
  • behavior
  • head growth
  • vision
  • Formal molecular anchor

    The available record confirms a de novo loss-of-function context.

  • Reported clinical layer

    Speech delay, behavioral concerns, macrocephaly, and an ophthalmic finding are the currently mapped clinical content.

  • Source limit

    Most oral, GI, sleep, ENT, neurologic, and functional fields remain unreported—not negative.

LS10Preschool

Missense VUS

Food-triggered GI injury, upper-airway symptoms, hypotonia, fatigue, and hearing follow-up changed with exposure and illness.

  • GI / allergy
  • ENT / airway
  • motor / fatigue
  • hearing control
  • Parent-observed chronology

    Food reactions with bloody diarrhea that resolved when triggers were avoided, chronic rhinorrhea and mouth-open sleep, low tone, and fatigue form the observed course.

  • Reported formal history

    A transient liver-enzyme change during infection remains reported formal content pending the primary result.

  • Reported formal control

    An early hearing concern was followed by reassuring auditory testing.

  • Interpretive limit

    Allergy, GI injury, airway, infection, nutrition, and developmental effects remain separate causal questions.

LS11Preschool

Nonsense loss-of-function

A dense early record connects an abrupt bowel-state change, ENT imaging, EEG background, endocrine signals, temperature events, and one difficult sedation sequence.

  • oral–GI
  • ENT
  • EEG / sleep
  • procedure / sedation
  • endocrine / autonomic
  • Formal neurologic and ENT record

    MRI showed a structurally normal brain, near-complete bilateral sinus disease, and trace or mild left mastoid fluid. Four days later, middle-ear and cochlear testing was reassuring. A separate four-hour EEG showed mild diffuse slowing without epileptiform activity and did not reach Stage II.

  • Formal procedure record

    For one MRI, intranasal midazolam 2 mg and dexmedetomidine 42 mcg plus additional IV midazolam were inadequate; only a limited postcontrast sequence was obtained, and future general anesthesia was recommended.

  • Recovered GI chronology

    After a May illness window, the reported bowel pattern shifted from six or seven soft stools daily to roughly two hard stools weekly. Low growth measures were recorded while fecal fat, elastase, bile acids, and calprotectin were reported as reassuring.

  • Parent-observed chronology

    Low-temperature illness windows and autonomic-like events remain time-linked family observations.

  • Interpretive limit

    The EEG was not polysomnography; the bowel sequence does not establish ASH1L or medication causation; and one procedure-specific response does not establish class-wide sedation resistance.

LS12Preteen

Nonsense loss-of-function

A second nonsense loss-of-function history follows a distinct developmental, school, fatigue, and sensory trajectory.

  • development / language
  • school / function
  • sleep / fatigue
  • behavior / sensory
  • Reported molecular and clinical history

    The controlled source layer records an ASH1L nonsense loss-of-function finding and a history of early absent speech, apraxia, intensive therapy, later language emergence, and persistent comprehension, memory, and academic burden.

  • Parent-reported school layer

    Seventh-grade placement with approximately third-grade Math and English-language-arts work, a modified curriculum, IEP and social-skills support, Special Olympics, and better retention through music define the current functional context.

  • Parent-observed state context

    Chronic fatigue, difficult waking, routine dependence, storm sensitivity, texture sensitivity, overload, and repetitive self-calming movements remain observed rather than mechanistically assigned.

  • Interpretive limit

    Sharing a broad molecular class with LS01 does not predict identical development, systems involved, adult outcome, or prognosis. Formal school and sleep records remain to be recovered.

CONTROL SIGNALS RETAINED

What did not decline, what recovered, and what was never assessed all change the interpretation.

01

Preserved acquisition

Continued learning without a reported loss trajectory.

Prevents the regression subset from being generalized to everyone.
02

Complete recovery

Return to baseline after a severe illness interval.

Makes recovery an outcome—not an omitted footnote.
03

Explicit negative

A reported negative history or reassuring domain-specific test.

Counts only what the source actually evaluated.
04

Unassessed

No test performed or no history supplied.

Remains missing; it is never converted to normal.
05

Co-finding control

Prematurity, sensory injury, another variant, pain, bowel state, sleep, or medication exposure.

Keeps competing and contributing explanations active.
06

Pedigree dependence

Related family members carrying one familial molecular context.

One pedigree is not multiple independent recurrences.

HOW TO USE THESE STORIES

Depth is valuable only when its limits remain attached.

Unreported is not negative, and a detailed case does not set cohort frequency.

15 deep packets

Recover feature vocabulary, chronology, triggers, interventions, and recovery.

51 profiles with mapped phenotype evidence

Support broader cohort signal mapping with uneven detail.

61 active people

Remain the full person-level denominator, including profiles with little or no phenotype evidence.

MAKING THE SIGNAL TESTABLE

Repeat the same measure before, during, and after meaningful change.

No single test can adjudicate every trajectory. The measurement must follow the question and preserve the person’s own baseline.

  • Complete the source layer.Recover the primary molecular, EEG, imaging, laboratory, specialty, medication, procedure, and functional records.
  • Repeat the same function.Use comparable language, motor, sleep, oral–feeding, GI, pain, and adaptive measures across baseline, change, and recovery.
  • Time-lock physiology to events.When clinically appropriate, pair the event with the domain-specific measurement that can answer it.
