  • * P < 0.0001.

  • Cutoff means binding ratios that have the maximal probability of correctly assigning patients and controls to their respective groups. All cutoff values are averages of 2 consecutively ordered, observed test values.

  • True-positive rate.

  • § One minus the false-positive rate.

  • Abbreviations are as defined in Table 2.
