Table 1 Classification thresholds utilized by the history weighting analysis tool

From: Classification of genetic variants in genes associated with Lynch syndrome using a clinical history weighting algorithm

Classification call

Log history weighting score compared to pathogenic composite controls

Log history weighting score compared to benign composite controls

Pathogenic

<99th Percentile

<0.5 Percentile - 2.2/2.3/2.2 SD

Weak Pathogenica

≥99th Percentile and ≤ 99.5 Percentile + 0.7/0.9/1.0 SD

<0.5 Percentile - 2.2/2.3/2.2 SD

Not Callable

>99.5 Percentile + 0.7/0.9/1.0 SD

<0.5 Percentile - 2.2/2.3/2.2 SD

Weak Benigna

>99.5 Percentile + 0.7/0.9/1.0 SD

≥0.5 Percentile - 2.2/2.3/2.2 SD

≤1st Percentile

Benign

>99.5 Percentile + 0.7/0.9/1.0 SD

>1st Percentile

Indeterminate

All Other Variants

  1. Gene-specific standard deviations (SD) are indicated for MLH1, MSH2 and MSH6, respectively
  2. aPathogenic and benign ECDF control curve thresholds must not overlap
