Methods for genotyping polymorphisms using allele specific probes are
disclosed. A training set is used to generate a model for each
polymorphism to be interrogated. The training set is used to obtain an
estimate of the asymmetry between an intensity measurement for a first
allele and an intensity measurement for a second allele of the same
polymorphism. The intensity measurement obtained for a test sample is
adjusted using the estimate of asymmetry prior to using the intensity
measurements to make a genotyping call. In preferred embodiments the
adjustment is applied to polymorphisms that have a likelihood of being
heterozygous that is above a specified threshold.
