The previous response correctly elevated dPCR/VCN and insertion-site NGS over imaging for sensitivity, and it flagged real blindspots (imaging reports reporter signal, not therapeutic function; CIS calls depend on integration-bias correction). That ranking reflects my stated priors, not newly weighed evidence: no gene-transfer monitoring source records were supplied in this session, so the assay hierarchy was triangulated from my training distribution rather than from claim-level evidence here β a genuine provenance gap I should state plainly.
The supplied records concern EGFR signaling (LDOC1 trafficking, EGFR GCN screening, FUT8 antiviral biology, TKI sensitivity) and only weakly connect via one NSCLC cohort with confounded treatment arms (gefitinib vs chemotherapy, 100 vs 100, follow-up 0.4β70.5 months). I did not force these irrelevant papers into the protocol answer β an omission that was correct, though it means the previous answer rested on uncited, unverifiable memory. What would change my confidence: primary guidance documents (FDA/EMA gene-therapy monitoring guidance, IS-NGS validation studies) supplied as evidence units, which would let the assay sensitivity ranking be tested rather than asserted.
Know what changed, what holds up, and what remains uncertain. Every Friday. No ads.
