There are six methods of estimating frequency (see Text), noting that the MOI ≤ 2 approach cannot be used for haplotypes frequency estimate. Numbers in parentheses are the 95% CIs. SNP nomenclature is self-explanatory. The dhfr two-codon haplotypes (dhfr 2C hap) are defined at positions 59 and 108 with − indicating wild-type SNP and + indicating mutant, so that, for example, – – is wild type at both positions and −+ is wild type at 59 but mutant at 108. The three-codon dhfr haplotypes (dhfr 3C hap) are defined at positions 51, 59, and 108, and the two-codon dhps haplotypes (dhps 2C hap) are defined at positions 437 and 540, with − and + again indicating wild type and mutant at these codons. Mutations at dhfr codons 51 and 59 very rarely occur without the presence of a mutation at 108, and therefore, two-codon haplotype +− and three-codon haplotypes +–, −+−, and ++− are omitted. Note that prevalence is for multilocus genotypes and not for haplotypes, because prevalence estimates cannot distinguish linkage phase within a sample (see Materials and Methods). GSL = genotyping sensitivity limit; N = number of clones entering the analyses; LL = the maximum log likelihood obtained in the ML analyses. The same data are analyzed simultaneously when estimating frequencies of haplotypes, and therefore, N and LL are the same for each haplotype and consequently, are only given for the wild type.
