Note. Accuracy (Aс) - the proportion of the correct test results (that is the sum of true positive and true negative results) among all the patients examined. In our case, this is the proportion of correct estimates of pathogenic and benign variants; Sensitivity (Se) - the ability of the diagnostic method to give the correct result which is defined as the proportion of true positive results among all performed tests. In our case, this is the proportion of true positive results, that is, the correct identification of pathogenic variants; Specificity (Sp) - the ability of the diagnostic method not to give false positive results in the absence of disease, which is defined as the proportion of true negative results among healthy individuals in studied group. In our case, this is a share of true negative results, that is, a correct identification of benign variants; Positive predictive values (PPV) - prediction of pathogenic variants; Negative predictive values (NPV) - prediction of benign variants.
