Validation status codes summarize available validation data
| Validation evidence | Description | Code in database for ss# | Code in FTP dumps for ss# | Code in database for rs# | Code in FTP dumps for rs# |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Not Validated | Validation code for an ss, where there is no BatchUpdate information, no 0 or 1 frequency data, and no non-computational validation method. Validation code for an rs, ""or""ed from ss code. If the rs has single ss with code 1, then the rs code is set to 0. | 0 | Not present | 0a | Not present |
| By Cluster | Validation code for an rs that has at least two ss, and at least one of those ss was validated by a non-computational method. Validation code for an ss, if the method is non-computational. Validation code for a single member rs where the ss validation_status is 1, the rs validation_status is set to 0. | 1 | 1b | 1,0b | 1 |
| By Frequency | Validation code for a variation that has frequency or genotype data and has a minor allele count of at least 2. | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 |
| By Submitter | Validation code for a variation that had a BatchUpdate with a second validation method submitted by the original submitter. | 4 | 4 | 4 | 4 |
| by DoubleHit | Validation code for a variation where every allele has been observed in at least two chromosomes. | 8 | 8 | 8 | 8 |
| HapMap | Validation code for a variation that has genotype frequency from HapMap. | 16 | 16 | 16 | 16 |
a) If the rs# has a single ss# with code 1, then rs# is set to code 0. b) For a single member rs where the ss# validation status = 1, the rs# validation status is set to 0.
