Performance Metrics

Disclaimer: The performance metrics are displayed as reported by the source studies. It is important to note that metrics are not necessarily comparable with each other. For example, metrics depend on the sample characteristics (described by the PGS Catalog Sample Set [PSS] ID), phenotyping, and statistical modelling. Please refer to the source publication for additional guidance on performance.

PSS003583 All individuals were BRCA1 carriers. BRCA1 pathogenic variants were categorized according to their known or predicted effect on protein function: “class I” included loss-of-function variants expected to yield unstable or no protein; “class II” included variants likely to produce stable mutant proteins. Pathology data were obtained from pathology reviews, medical, pathology or tumor registry records, or immunohistochemical staining of tissue microarrays. All cases were individuals with prostate cancer.
