Before we can make even loose assertions about the market impact of a JC test, we need to have some idea of the sensitivity and specificity of the test.



My statement was predicated upon there being an approved test* and that ~50% of them test positive.

My conclusion was that a lot of those who test positive will drop Tysabri.

So for now, I will stick to my loose assertion.

No doubt, I have more at stake here than logic.

* Perhaps this is where you think I err, but I would expect the test have high sensitivity and specificity, say over 90%.
