The useful splice question is often one junction narrower than the original claim.
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.
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.
