Block List

The block list represents high noise regions in the panel where false positive variant calls are likely produced. As a result, all positions in the gVCF are marked as Filter=excluded_regions to indicate variant call results are not reliable in such regions.

The block list includes the following genes:

  • HLA A

  • HLA B

  • HLA C

  • KMT2B

  • KMT2C

  • KMT2D

  • chrY

  • Any position with VAF 1% occurrence in six or more of the 60 baseline samples.
