NGS Analytic Sensitivity and Specificity (Variants Detection)

NGS Sanger sequencing
Variant alleles (positive) Reference alleles (negative) Total
Variant alleles (positive) 248 0 248
Reference alleles (negative) 2 1825 1827
Total 250 1825 2075

Compared with the Sanger sequencing assay: sensitivity = 99.2% (95% CI, 96.8%–99.9%); specificity = 99.9% (95% CI, 99.7%–100.0%).
