VariantFiltering-package: Filtering of coding and non-coding genetic variants
Description
The VariantFiltering package filters coding and non-coding genetic variants using different
criteria such as an inheritance model (autosomal recessive -both, homozygous and heterozygous-,
autosomal dominant, X-linked and de novo), amino acid change consequence, minor allele
frequencies, cryptic splice site potential, conservation, etc.Functions
autosomalRecessiveHomozygousidentify homozygous variants in the affected individual(s) while the unaffected ones present these same variants but in heterozygous state. Autosomal recessive inheritance pattern.autosomalRecessiveHeterozygousidentify variants grouped by genes with two (or more) heterogeneous alleles (at least one on each allele, i.e. coming from each parent). Autosomal recessive inheritance pattern.autosomalDominantidentify variants present in all the affected individual(s) discarding the ones that also occur in at least one of the unaffected subjects. Autosomal dominant inheritance pattern.xLinkedidentify variants that appear only in the X chromosome of the unaffected females as heterozygous, don't appear in the unaffected males analyzed and finally are present (as homozygous) in the affected male(s). X-linked inheritance pattern.deNovoidentify variants in the affected
individual that have not been inherited.unrelatedIndividualsannotate variants without filtering by any inheritance pattern.
