Before visual inspection After visual inspection
True negative 1316 1321
False positive 5 0
True positive 215 219
False negative 6 2
Specificity, % (95% CI) 99·6% (99·1–99·9) 100% (99·7–100)
Sensitivity, % (95% CI) 97·3% (94·2–99·0) 99·1% (96·8–99·9)
Positive predictive value, % (95% CI) 97·7% (94·7–99·0) 100%
Negative predictive value, % (95% CI) 99·6% (99·0–99·8) 99·9% (99·4–100)
Accuracy, % (95% CI) 99·3% (98·7–99·6) 100% (99·5–100)

Performance based on total number of non-expanded and expanded alleles across all loci tested before and after visual inspection.
