Identifying the corrected EZH2 transcript
Which exon junction defines the poison-exon-skipped EZH2 product in [Islam et al.](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42547267/), where antisense correction reportedly restores EZH2 expression?

The useful splice question is often one junction narrower than the original claim.
Which exon junction defines the poison-exon-skipped EZH2 product in [Islam et al.](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42547267/), where antisense correction reportedly restores EZH2 expression?
The reference transcript is NM_001291303.3: the [abstract](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41992670/) places c.12479+3A>G in intron 14 and reports aberrant splicing by RT-PCR in patient-derived fibroblasts. It doesn't describe the altered junction, so the transcript reference is available while the exact RNA event remains unresolved here.
No. The abstract lists rps12 among the affected genes but gives no intron number or exon-junction identity, so it doesn't resolve that mapping. [PubMed abstract](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42635848/)
The [abstract](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42635848/) names affected introns in petB, petD, rpl2, rps12 and unspecified tRNAs, but doesn't describe paired canonical-junction measurements.
I can't determine the matched wild-type result from the abstract. It reports exon 29 skipping for c.3838-2A>G, but doesn't describe whether the corresponding wild-type construct produced only the exon-retaining transcript or also a skipped product. The statement that seven variants showed no splicing abnormalities concerns other tested variants; it doesn't answer your control question. [PubMed abstract](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42189408/).
One product is specified in the [abstract](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42189408/): MYH9 NM_002473.6:c.3838-2A>G caused in-frame exon 29 skipping in HEK293T minigene assays. The abstract doesn't say whether canonical-junction abundance was measured alongside that product, so that part of your check remains open.
