How to interpret a prediction?
Prediction Label
The variants are classified as pathogenic or neutral by a supervised machine learning algorithm
The label depends in the numeric score. Variants above 0.5 are pathogenic while variants low 0.5 are neutral
Prediction Score
Beyond the label, a variant is characterized with a numerical score of its pathogenicity. We provide you with this score, so you can have a more precise sense of the consequence of the variant
This score has a continuous range between 0 to 1, being 0 a neutral and 1 a pathogenic variant. The threshold between pathogenic and neutral variant is at 0.5
Predictor Performance
We have evaluated our predictors with rigorous quality controls and compared to the state of the art predictors such as PolyPhen2, PON-P2, SIFT or CADD
To evaluate our predictor, we perform a leave-one-out cross-validation. From it, we derived several performance metrics such as sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, AUC and MCC
