Small Variants Summary

Table 14   Small Variants Statistics

Statistic

Description

Total Passing

The total number of variants present in the data set that passed the variant quality filters.

Percent Found in

dbSNP

100*(number of variants in dbSNP/Number of variants)

Het/Hom Ratio

Number of heterozygous variants/Number of homozygous variants.

Ts/Tv Ratio

Transition rate of SNVs that pass the quality filters divided by the transversion rate of SNVs that pass the quality filters.

Transitions are interchanges of purines (A, G) or of pyrimidines (C, T). Transversions are interchanges between purine and pyrimidine bases (for example, A to T).

Mean Variant Frequency

Number of reads in which the variant was detected divided by the number of reads.

Table 15   Statistics for Variants by Sequence Context

Statistic

Description

Number in Genes

The number of variants that occur in a gene.

Number in Exons

The number of variants that occur in an exon.

Number in Coding Regions

The number of variants that occur in a coding region.

Number in UTR Region

The number of variants that occur in an untranslated region (UTR).

Number in Splice Site Regions

The number of variants that occur in a splice site region.

Table 16   Statistics for Variants by Consequence
Statistic Description

Frameshift

The number of variants that cause a frameshift.

Non-synonymous

The number of variants that cause an amino acid change in a coding region.

Synonymous

The number of variants that are within a coding region, but do not cause an amino acid change.

Stop Gained

The number of variants that cause an additional stop codon.

Stop Lost

The number of variants that cause the loss of a stop codon.
