Table 1 Data that may be collected for each genotype in a Scan

From: Clinical applications of Genome Polymorphism Scans

1. The identities of the alleles (as complete as possible) at each locus

2. The confidence in the allele calls

3. The detection signals for each allele and whether these signals are normal or are unexpectedly strong or weak

4. The (rare) presence of three or more alleles for multiallelic polymorphisms

5. The expected frequency of the observed genotype given known allele frequencies for the individual's population

6. When genotypes are available from family members, whether the allele transmission patterns between generations are consistent with Mendel's rules
