Sample filtering and exclusion criteria from the full dataset
Quality control metric | Individuals excluded |
---|---|
Call rate < 87% | 10 |
Gender discrepancy | 1 |
Sample heterozygosity < 32% | 16 |
Per-family Mendelian errors of >2% | 6 |
Total | 33 |
This table annotates the exclusion of individuals from the initial GWAS. Call rate is based on all SNPs at the outset. The 87% threshold was chosen based on the distribution of missinginess, as was sample heterozygosity. Mendelian errors are impossible configurations of transmission from parent to offspring. A rate higher than 2%, we took to imply either sample mix-up or non-paternity. These exclusions were applied to all individuals in the study.
