Pathological Evaluation of ERG Protein Expression Versus ERG Rearrangement Status as Determined by FISH in Cohorts from the WCMC and the UM Cohorts.

ERG Status Patient Cohort
Pathologist evaluation Positive Negative Combined Sensitivity 95.7%
Positive 88 4 Specificity 96.5%
Negative 4 111 PPV 95.7%
NPV 96.5%
Fisher = 6.07e - 48
Pathologist evaluation Positive Negative WCMC Sensitivity 100.0%
Positive 60 2 Specificity 97.1%
Negative 0 66 PPV 96.8%
NPV 100.0%
Fisher = 1.01e - 34
Pathologist evaluation Positive Negative UM Sensitivity 87.5%
Positive 28 2 Specificity 95.7%
Negative 4 45 PPV 93.3%
NPV 91.8%
Fisher = 7.05e - 15

ERG FISH: negative versus positive (insertion + deletion); IHC: negative versus (weak + moderate + strong). Note that for the WCMC cohort, 128 cases were evaluated.
