Table 3.

Specificity and sensitivity of detection using patterns of methylation in gene promoters.

A. RRMS(r) group vs. Healthy Controls
Predicted:	True:
Predicted:	RRMS(r)	Controls
RRMS(r)	79.2	7.1
Controls	20.8	92.9

B. RRMS(e) group vs. Healthy Controls
Predicted:	True:
Predicted:	RRMS(e)	Controls
RRMS(e)	75.9	8.5
Controls	24.1	91.5

C. RRMS(e) group vs. RRMS(r) group
Predicted:	True:
Predicted:	RRMS(e)	RRMS(r)
RRMS(e)	70.8	28.8
RRMS(r)	29.2	71.2

Correctly identified RRMS and control samples (percent of correct identification) are shown in bold: specificity is the upper left hand box and sensitivity is the lower right hand box. RRMS(r) = RRMS patients, RRMS(e) = RRMS patients in exacerbation.
