aOne sample was removed from the statistical model containing a total of 174 samples and a classifier was generated to predict the status (normal or patient) of the removed sample using the rest of the samples. This procedure was repeated for all samples. bDiagnostic accuracy = (number of true positive + number of true negative)/total number of samples.
