Table 5. Performance of Counsyl Inherited Cancer Screen for copy number variants.

Counsyl ICS MLPA reference data Results (95% confidence interval)
CNV present CNV not present
CNV detected 79 true positives 0 false positives 100% accuracy (0.999–1.0) 100% sensitivity (0.951–1.0)
CNV not detected 0 false negatives 3,067 true negatives 100% specificity (0.999–1.0) 0% FDR (0–4.6%)

Notes.

Only reference data with full copy number assessment of the BRCA1/2 genes were included. Validation metrics were defined as: Accuracy = (TP + TN)/(TP + FP + TN + FN); Sensitivity = TP/(TP + FN); Specificity = TN/(TN + FP); FDR = FP/(TP + FP). True positives and true negatives were computed on a per-exon basis.
