Mendel Error

This algorithm computes the Mendel Error status for the child’s genotype. The status is categorized as follows:

• Untransmitted: The allele was not inherited by the child.
• Transmitted: The allele was inherited by the child
• de Novo Allele: The child’s genotype shows a single de Novo mutation that was not present in either parent.
• MIE: Mendel Inheritance Error. The child’s genotype cannot be explained by mendelian inheritance patterns and is more complex than a single de Novo mutation.

Missing alleles are considered to be reference.

Requirements

Requires a genotype (GT) sample level field.

Requires that the sample have at least one parent

Output

Creates a categorical column on each child sample denoting its Mendel Error status
