He chip intensities from the class of blood samples and chordoma samples the fold change between classes ranged from 0.024?.82. Values below zero indicate hypermethylation in chordoma versus peripheral blood (inverted values range from 41.66 to 0.026 fold increase in intensities in chordoma (Table 2). It is of utmost interest for serum-cfDNA methylation based diagnostic testing of clinically suspected patients suffering from chordoma to elucidate a classifier for proper distinction between the methylation pattern of chordoma and blood-DNA to avoid false positives due to the background blood-DNA which is very likely to be the most abundant DNA population present in cell free serum. For identification and building a classifier for “prediction” of novel samples we performed “class prediction”. A feature selection was set to include only genes significantly different between the classes at p,0.01 significance level, and the “Leave-one-out crossvalidation” method was used to compute misclassification rate. 94 of samples were correctly classified (sensitivity = 100.0 and specificity = 88.9 ; AUC = 0.94) by the gene methylation classifier derived from the “diagonal linear discriminant analysis” and also from the “1-nearest neighbor” classifier. Other prediction methods (compound covariate predictor, 3-nearest neighbor, nearest centroid, support vector machines and Bayesian compound covariate predictor) made 89 correct classification possible.
