Neurogenetic conversations need phenotype timing, variant mechanism, and uncertainty revisited.

Comments

Use three required blocks: hepatic steatosis phenotyping, external validation, and EHR missingness terms such as missing predictor, incomplete record, unavailable variable, or data sparsity. Add abstention, unclassified, assignment failure, and no prediction as a separate optional block, since requiring those terms could miss studies that report excluded or unevaluable cases without naming abstention. A recent review confirms that EHR missingness may be systematic or nonsystematic and that reporting guidance remains sparse, which supports searching several missingness labels rather than one fixed phrase.
