Evidence Gaps

What the evidence does not yet say.

A gap names a measurement, dataset, model or control that is missing, and links to the evidence records that say so. A gap is marked addressed only with the publication or record that addresses it. Gaps keep hypotheses honest about what remains open.

Arimoclomol: no target engagement at relevant exposure, no exact-variant rescue

No direct BUBR1 or N1002K rescue evidence was located; heat-shock responses are context-dependent and total serum exposure is not interchangeable with nominal cell-culture concentration. Reconsideration requires target engagement at relevant exposure plus exact-variant functional rescue.

Missing measurement Measurement proposed

Checkpoint competence and chromosome segregation have not been measured for either variant

Mitotic-arrest duration under spindle challenge is a checkpoint control, not chromosome-segregation fidelity in unperturbed divisions, and the published control variant (D137R) is not N1002K. Both endpoints must be measured separately for L737* and N1002K.

Method or control Measurement proposed

Drug responses need viability, proliferation and completed-division controls

Fewer raw error-positive divisions can appear without a lower error rate per completed division. Before a drug response is interpreted, viability, proliferation and completed divisions must be accounted for; the denominator check exists only as a synthetic software test.

Missing data Open

No exact L737* readthrough measurement exists

The 5,837-context readthrough table holds no exact L737* measurement and no exact six-flanking-base match; neighbouring contexts are not a prediction for this variant. Readthrough would also have to yield native leucine, a surviving transcript and functional BUBR1.

Missing measurement Measurement proposed

L737* NMD susceptibility is predicted, not measured

Whether the L737* transcript is degraded by nonsense-mediated decay in cells carrying the variant has not been measured; the case treats it as a prediction. A related 731X construct motivates testing truncated-protein function once NMD is bypassed, but the exact L737* experiment has not been performed.

N1002K stability and residual function are unresolved

No exact-N1002K functional experiment was located. I909T and L1012P are comparator variants, not substitutes; equal abundance is not universally sufficient for rescue. The proposed measurement compares WT, N1002K and L1012P at matched abundance in one depletion-replacement system.

Model mismatch Open

Readthrough-combination evidence comes from another gene and stop context

Endogenous-protein and withdrawal measurements for G418/ELX-02 with or without mefloquine were made on PKD1 Q2556X (a TAG stop), not on the L737* UGA premise; they establish neither gentamicin-combination efficacy nor BUB1B rescue.
