for the patient. If preferred, these panels are easily constructed in the panel editor after the genotyping panel has
been applied to the project.
File Create Panel
Select User Donor/Recipient Select OK to automatically
create a case specific chimertyping panel. If a naming
convention was not used to designate donor and recipient
files the designation may be made here by the user. Right
click on the file name and set as the appropriate file type.
This automatically creates a chimertyping panel with the
alleles found in all of the participants of the study (donors
and recipients). When used in the chimerism analysis (please see Chapter 7, Chimerism Analysis), the panel calls
only those peaks that are consistent with the donor(s) and recipient alleles. In addition to the columns discussed
above for the genotyping panel table, chimertyping panels have an Origin column. This documents the
individual(s) that were the sources of these allele calls and is used to label the peaks in the electropherograms of
mixture (post-bmt) samples in chimerism projects (please see Chapter 7 Chimerism Analysis).
Editing a Chimertyping Panel
It is very likely that some of the peaks will be minor peaks (only as small percentage of the RFU (height) of the
major peaks. To ensure these minor peaks are not missed it is essential to set the minimum percentage to be
accepted as a peak during the analysis. After the chimertyping panel is created:
