Fig. 4: Performance of the machine-learning LASSO model for IRD subtypes classification.

a Two diagnostic models were established to differentiate (1) CD/CRD, STGD, and control group and (2) RP with EYS, USH2A, and other genotypes, using the machine learning LASSO model. b The sensitivity and specificity were both 100% in the training and validation sets of the cone-predominant disease diagnosis model. c The area-under-curve (AUC) was 1.0 in the three subgroups in the training and validation set. d The diagnostic accuracy was 83.7% in the training set and 85.7% in the validation set of the RP diagnosis model. e The AUC of the RP diagnosis model for the USH2A, EYS, and other genotypes in the training and validation set.
