Figure 1 Melting curves of the eight different high resolution melting (HRM) multiplexes for cohort 2 (34 SeqCap Choice samples). The specific single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) assayed in every multiplex are listed below the melting curves, in the order of the peaks.

Figure 2 Example set-up of one multiplex high resolution melting (HRM) reaction (SNP 12 – 14 – 19) with eight selected control samples representing every status of each single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) (homozygous reference, heterozygous, homozygous alternative). All three genotypes can be derived after subsequent application of the respective normalization temperatures (listed in Table 3).

Figure 3 Experimental and simulated (1000×) discriminative power distribution per data set of up to 40 samples [Experimental: discriminative power (DP), 7.8 ± 1.6; Simulation: DP = 8.3 ± 1.4; A] and 213 samples (Experimental: DP = 6.3 ± 1.4, Simulation: DP = 6.9 ± 1.3; B). A: The experimental data set was retrieved from analyzing the genotypes per experiment (of up to 40 samples) for the three different cohorts. B: All 213 experimental samples from the three cohorts were analyzed together. The left and right y axis represents the number of samples with a specific discriminative power for the experimental (black bars) and simulated (gray bars) samples, respectively.
