In 2015, professional guidelines defined the term 'likely pathogenic' to mean with a 90% chance of pathogenicity. To determine whether current practice reflects this definition, ClinVar classifications were tracked from 2016 to 2019. During that period, between 83.8 and 99.1% of likely pathogenic classifications were reclassified as pathogenic, depending on whether LP to VUS reclassifications are included and on how these classifications are categorized.
2015 年，专业指南将“很可能致病”定义为致病性概率为 90%。为了确定当前的实践是否反映了这一定义，我们从 2016 年到 2019 年跟踪了 ClinVar 分类。在此期间，根据是否包括 LP 到 VUS 的重新分类，以及如何对这些分类进行分类，很可能致病的分类中有 83.8%至 99.1%被重新分类为致病性。
