Table 3 Concordance between the three methods used

From: Diagnostic application of PIK3CA mutation analysis in Chinese esophageal cancer patients

Kappa (95% CI)

ME-Liquidchip

Sanger sequencing

Pyrosequencing

ME-Liquidchip

 

0.71 (0.59-0.83)

0.64 (0.51-0.77)

Sanger sequencing

  

0.75 (0.61-0.89)

  1. The results of mutational analysis by Sanger sequencing were in agreement with Pyrosequencing k = 0.75. The scores of both methods were in poor concordance with ME-Liquidchip k = 0.71 vs to Sanger sequencing and k = 0.64 vs to Prosequencing.(values in brackets are the 95% CI for the k statistic).
