Criteria used for mutation filtering (variant inclusion)

Criterion name Threshold value
General quality
 Phred-based quality >50
 Strand bias ≤0.75
 Number of reads supporting called variant ≥10
Functional relevance
 Variant allelic frequency ≥5%
 Localization Exonic and splice site
 Variant effect Non-synonymous
SNP exclusion
 Variant allelic frequency <95%
 Database annotation and alternative allelic frequency (1000 genomes project, European descendent samples) Not listed in dbSNP v138 or listed, but MAF ≤0.01%
 Variants in detected in the control cohort of 23 non-tumoral samples from lymphoma patients Not overlapping
