Table 3: Genotyping, discrimination ratios, and discrimination powers for healthy individuals and patients with CMT.


Mutation	Sample genotype	(S-B) of wild-type allele probe	(SB) of mutant allele probe	Discrimination ratio	DNA type	Power of discrimination between genotypes

V95M	Homozygous Wild-type	33.4	1.9	WT Probe: 17.58	Normal control	19
V95M	Heterozygous	8.6	8	MT Probe: 0.93	Patient	19
V113F	Homozygous Wild-type	233.65	3.17	WT Probe: 73.7	Normal control	23
V113F	Heterozygous	111.8	362.7	MT Probe: 3.2	Patient	23
T124M	Homozygous Wild-type	181.09	3.58	WT Probe: 50,58	Normal control	211
T124M	Heterozygous	138.3	33.9	MT Probe: 0.24	Patient	211
C42R	Homozygous Wild-type	141.18	2.15	WT Probe: 65.66	Normal control	30
C42R	Heterozygous	55.6	126	MT Probe: 2.2	Patient	30

Signal-Background (S-B) calculations for each spot bearing the wild-type or mutant allele were obtained after the hybridization of PCR products from heterozygous patients and unaffected individuals. The discrimination ratio between mutant and normal allele probes should be as high as possible for healthy individuals (homozygous wild-type genotypes) and as close as possible to 1 for heterozygous affected patients. The discrimination power should be as high as possible.
