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.

PSS000268 Unselected participants of the German screening colonoscopy program are recruited by gastroenterology practices in southern Germany in this multicenter study.Colonoscopy and histology reports are collected and information from these reports is extracted independently in a standardized way by two trained investigators, who are blinded with respect to questionnaire and genotype data and who resolve discrepancies by consensus after further review and discussion. Based on colonoscopy reports, participants are categorized with respect to the most advanced lesion: CRC, advanced adenoma (AA), non-advanced adenoma (NAA), hyperplastic polyp, or undefined polyp. Advanced adenomas are defined as adenomas ≥1 cm or adenomas with cellular or structural atypia.
