a. How do you solve for the clinical sensitivity of an assay?
b. If 95 of 100 patients with a gene mutation are in a disease state, what is the clinical sensitivity for this assay?

Expert Solution

Clinical sensitivity is ability of the test in identifying the true positives(with disease)

Here true positives are 95

sensitivity is 95/100
