Summary of Validation Results

Concordance Index 5% CI)* O/E Ratio (95% CI)† Mean Squared Error (95% CI)
MMRpro + MSI testing‡ 0.83 (0.78 to 0.87) 0.94 (0.84 to 1.05) 0.18 (0.15 to 0.22)
MMRpro 0.79 (0.74 to 0.84) 0.97 (0.86 to 1.08) 0.19 (0.16 to 0.23)
Leiden 0.77 (0.71 to 0.83) 1.54 (1.35 to 1.80) 0.24 (0.20 to 0.28)
Difference between MMRpro + MSI and Leiden 0.06 (−0.02 to 0.14) Not applicable§ 0.06 (0.005 to 0.11)
Sensitivity Specificity
Revised Bethesda Guidelines + MSI|| 0.72 0.69
Revised Bethesda Guidelines 0.77 0.54
Amsterdam Criteria|| 0.75 0.62

Abbreviations: CI, confidence interval; MSI, microsatellite instability.

*

Concordance index is equal to the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve.

†

Ratio between the observed number of carriers and the total number of predicted carriers.

‡

Represents MMRpro prediction after taking into account the MSI test results, when available.

§

Computing the difference in this case is not an appropriate comparison, as each of the ratios should be compared directly with the reference value of 1.

||

Refers to applying the revised Bethesda Guidelines, testing the individuals who fulfill the guidelines for MSI, and referring those individuals testing positive for MSI to germline testing.
