DOWNSTREAM ANALYSIS CONSIDERATIONS<br />

Data Filtering<br />

For many genotyping applications, loss of accuracy can result in a<br />

significant decrease in genetic power. This loss of accuracy can be<br />

caused by systematic or sporadic errors that occur due to stochastic,<br />

sample or experimental factors. To filter out errors and exclude these<br />

<strong>SNP</strong>s in downstream analysis, a two-tiered filtering process is<br />

recommended. In the first filter, samples are included only if the call<br />

rate is greater than 93% at a 0.33 confidence score when using high<br />

quality DNA (see Chapter 3). Those filtered samples are then<br />

evaluated in a secondary <strong>SNP</strong> filter where any <strong>SNP</strong> with less than an<br />

85% call rate across samples is eliminated from the analysis. These two<br />

filters together should result in a high quality set of samples and <strong>SNP</strong>s<br />

for use in downstream analysis.<br />

Studies on multiple <strong>500K</strong> data sets have shown that <strong>SNP</strong>s with a<br />

lower per <strong>SNP</strong> call rate tend to have a higher error rate, and<br />

disproportionately contribute to the overall error rate in the<br />

experiment.<br />

Consider taking additional steps to identify and eliminate sporadic<br />

genotype errors. Steps may include eliminating <strong>SNP</strong>s out of Hardy<br />

Weinberg equilibrium in control samples from the population, or<br />

eliminating genotypes showing Mendel inconsistency or unlikely<br />

genotypes. GTYPE has functionality to identify <strong>SNP</strong>s showing<br />

Mendelian or Hardy Weinberg errors in user-defined samples. These<br />

genotyping errors can be filtered out upon data export. Please consult<br />

the GeneChip ® Genotyping Analysis Software User’s Guide for more<br />

information.<br />

Adjust the Default Value to Increase or Decrease<br />

Accuracy and Call Rate<br />

GTYPE 4.0 software provides flexible options to enable a trade off<br />

between Call Rate and genotyping accuracy. The Dynamic Model<br />

<strong>Mapping</strong> Algorithm uses the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test to assign a<br />

confidence score measuring the reliability of a genotype call (see<br />

Appendix D in the GeneChip ® Genotyping Analysis Software User’s<br />

Guide) 1,2 .
