Clinical likelihood ratios and balanced accuracy for 44 in silico tools against multiple large-scale functional assays of cancer susceptibility genes
Purpose Where multiple in silico tools are concordant, the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics/Association for Molecular Pathology (ACMG/AMP) framework affords supporting evidence toward pathogenicity or benignity, equivalent to a likelihood ratio of ~2.

Zusammenfassung: | Purpose
Where multiple in silico tools are concordant, the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics/Association for Molecular Pathology (ACMG/AMP) framework affords supporting evidence toward pathogenicity or benignity, equivalent to a likelihood ratio of ~2. However, limited availability of “clinical truth sets” and prior use in tool training limits their utility for evaluation of tool performance.
Methods
We created a truth set of 9,436 missense variants classified as deleterious or tolerated in clinically validated high-throughput functional assays for
BRCA1
,
BRCA2
,
MSH2
,
PTEN
, and
TP53
to evaluate predictive performance for 44 recommended/commonly used in silico tools.
Results
Over two-thirds of the tool–threshold combinations examined had specificity of |
