| Abstract | Background Accurate risk assessment is essential to genetic counselling for a family history of cancer. Several empiric and computer-based risk assessment models have been developed to estimate a counselee’s probability of being a carrier of mutation in BRCA1 and/or 2 genes, and to predict the risk of developing breast cancer. The COS model was developed from the better-known BRCAPro model to estimate risk of carriage of BRCA1 or 2 mutation. The COS model remains to be validated in a population discrete from that used for its development. Methods Four probability estimation models including COS, Manchester scoring system (MSS), BOADICEA and Tyrer–Cuzick (T–C) were applied to 275 Scottish families tested for BRCA1/2 mutations ascertained through regional genetics centres to ascertain models’ sensitivity, specificity and accuracy. A subset of 130 families from Grampian (North and Northeast Scotland) was used to assess the models’ ability to estimate the prevalence of BRCA1/2 mutation carriers. Sensitivity, specificity and ROC plots were used to ascertain models’ individual performance, in terms of number of cancer cases, type of cancer and age of diagnosis of breast cancer. Results The COS and MSS models demonstrated the greatest sensitivities and area under ROC curves for the majority of family structures. They also showed the highest sensitivities (91–92%) and AUCs (76–78%) for the entire dataset overall. However, BOADICEA and T–C had the highest specificities for the majority of the family structures. BOADICEA and T–C generated the best estimates for the prevalence of mutations in the population; BOADICEA was more accurate for BRCA1 and T–C for BRCA2. Conclusion The COS and MSS models are the most effective models for use in clinical practice to select families for mutation analysis, but BOADICEA and T–C are more accurate for estimating mutation prevalence within a population. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
