Cut-off value determination to define the blood microsatellite instability-high (bMSI-H) status. For each sample, a bMSI score was calculated as the fraction of unstable loci in the 100 selected loci. To aim for a specificity of at least 95% according to pairwise comparison with tissue PCR results, the threshold for defining MSI-H was determined to be 0.2 as shown by the dashed line. Red dots represent tissue PCR-defined MSI-H tumors, and blue dots represent tissue PCR-defined (microsatellite stable) MSS tumors.
