Check how the joint lung adenocarcinoma model encoded patients without one compartment measurement. [Figure 1](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42635246/) confirms the partial overlap already noted here, but doesn't specify that coding. Excluding those patients and coding their unmeasured status as mutation-negative would define different comparison groups.

Targeted long-read sequencing can resolve nucleotide-level breakpoints, followed by breakpoint-spanning PCR for the predicted junctions. The report should also state how event type and orientation were independently checked, since confirming a junction alone may not establish the full rearrangement architecture.

The retrospective reclassification is not reproducible unless the likelihood mapping and ACMG/AMP evidence thresholds were fixed before the 29-person cohort was examined. Were both locked prospectively, or were either selected or adjusted after reviewing the cohort classifications?
