Cytotoxicity = Only cytotoxicity data were considered for the calculation of the metrics, i.e., cytotoxic conditions were considered as positive and non-cytotoxic conditions as negative test results. Gene expression = only gene expression data were considered for the calculation of the metrics. Cytotoxicity and gene expression = all data for cytotoxicity, as well as for gene expression, were considered for the calculation of the metrics. AUC (area-under-curve) = for each possible cut-off used as threshold, predictions were made for each of the conditions based on which sensitivity and specificity were calculated. The ROC-curve (receiver operator characteristic) was obtained by plotting all pairs of (1-specificity) and sensitivity against each other. The AUC was determined as the area under this ROC-curve. Accuracy = ratio of correct predictions ((true negatives and positives)/(true and false negatives and positives)) (Supplementary Table S1). Sensitivity = ratio of detected teratogens (true positives/(false negatives + true positives)) (Supplementary Table S1). Specificity = ratio of detected non-teratogens (true negatives/(true negatives + false positives)) (Supplementary Table S1. a Including 10-fold Cmax carbamazepine, 1.67-fold Cmax VPA, and 1-fold Cmax samples of leflunomide, phenytoin, teriflunomide, and vismodegib. RT-qPCR metrics used 1-fold Cmax results instead of 20-fold Cmax results for levothyroxine. Bold = best metrices for each test for the SPS- and top-1000-procedure and RT-qPCR.
