Forest plot of tests: 11 FISH (against PCR‐based LOH), 12 CGH (against PCR‐based LOH), 13 aCGH (against PCR‐based LOH), 14 SNP array (against PCR‐based LOH), 15 NGS (against PCR‐based LOH), 16 G‐banding (against PCR‐based LOH), 17 MLPA (against PCR‐based LOH), 18 real‐time PCR (against PCR‐based LOH), 19 MS (against PCR‐based LOH).
aCGH: array comparative genomic hybridisation; CGH: comparative genomic hybridisation; FISH: fluorescence in situ hybridisation; FN: false negative; FP: false positive; LOH: loss of heterozygosity; MLPA: multiplex‐ligation‐dependent probe amplification; MS; mass spectrometry; NGS: next‐generation sequencing; PCR: polymerase chain reaction; SNP: single nucleotide polymorphism; TN: true negative; TP: true positive.
