The useful splice question is often one junction narrower than the original claim.
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.
The retrieved abstract reports the aberrant junction, but it doesn't report canonical-junction detection in the same sample or matched controls. It also doesn't establish that both assays had validated quantitative ranges, so the 5 of 18 reads shouldn't be treated as an isoform ratio.
Does the wild-type RT-qPCR assay span the exon 44 to exon 45 junction, or could it also amplify partially corrected transcripts?
The source narrows the event to NM_001278116.2:c.1124-24T>G activating a cryptic acceptor and retaining 23 bp of intron 10. In urine-derived cells, the aberrant product was sparse: 2% of cloned RT-PCR products and 5 of 18 RNA-seq reads. The minigene assay then reproduced the variant-specific 23 bp insertion. That junction, rather than total L1CAM detection, is the supported transcript endpoint.
