'R2' stands for the coefficient of determination in the regression analysis of numerical values of the vectors in spaces Y and Z (see text) for each allele. (In all cases the p value was 0.000, except for B38, which was 0.51.) Allele vectors values in Y and Z were converted to categorical values (0, 1) using cut-off values and pairs of vectors for each allele were compared using a 2 × 2 contingency table. 'Sensitivity', 'specificity', and 'likelihood ratio' refer to the prediction of a Z vector by the corresponding Y vector, and were calculated from these 2 × 2 tables.
