Table 4.

Summary of genotyping errors observed in the NMDR according to laboratory.

Lab 1 Lab 2 Lab 4
Type of error Total = 1 bp >1 bp Total = 1 bp >1 bp Total = 1 bp >1 bp




Single false allele size 10 7 3 2 0 2 0 0 0
Double false allele size 6 1 5 0 0 0 0 0 0
False homozygote 9 5 4 1 1 0 0 0 0
False heterozygote 2 0 2 0 0 0 1 0 1

Columns labeled "Total" contain the total number of errors of a specific kind for each laboratory. False allele size is when an allele was erroneously sized compared to the true size for single and double alleles. " = 1 bp" denotes that the erroneously called allele is a distance one from the true allele, whereas ">1 bp" means that the distance was greater than one. False homozygote is where the true genotype was a heterozygote, and false heterozygote is where the true genotype was a homozygote.
