Identification of variant IBD status conditional on chromosome

0 IBD
chromosome
region
1 IBD chromosome

2 IBD chromosome
regions
Both siblings are homozygous minor allele 4 non-shared alleles 1 shared and 2 non-shared alleles 2 shared alleles
One homozygous minor allele and one heterozygote 3 non-shared alleles 1 shared and 1 non-shared alleles N/A
Both siblings are heterozygous 2 non-shared alleles Ambiguous configuration 1 shared allele

Assuming chromosome region IBD status is known, the number of shared and non-shared alleles can be inferred for all but one configuration of genotypes (shaded cell).
