*By cytogenetic analysis both cases that led to apparent inaccuracies are known to show the presence of BCR-ABL and >50 chromosomes.

‡ Average prediction accuracies from 100 independent analyses. For each analysis a new training and test set was chosen and discriminating probe sets were selected using the new training set.
