Build Summary

Release Version: 20230706150541

New: We are pleased to present the NCBI ALFA Release 3 (version 20230706150541), one of the largest and most comprehensive aggregated variant databases that includes allele and genotype frequency. This version incorporates new genotype frequency and Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium(HWE) probability to help you analyze more effectively. All of these information are now in our FTP files.

##FORMAT=<ID=HWEP,Number=1,Type=Integer,Description="int(-log(HWE score test p-value)); -1 indicates that the HWE score test p-value could not be computed">
##FORMAT=<ID=GR,Number=1,Type=Integer,Description="Genotype homozygous reference allele (AA) count; in rare cases may not be the GRCh reference allele">
##FORMAT=<ID=GV,Number=1,Type=Integer,Description="Genotype heterozygous ref/alt (A/B) count; reported for the most common two alleles that may or may not include the reference allele">
##FORMAT=<ID=GA,Number=1,Type=Integer,Description="Genotype homozygous alternate allele (B/B) count; could be any of the non-biallelic variant alleles.">

The RefSNP website already reports the frequency of alleles from this release. We are planning to update the RefSNP page to include genotype frequency and Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) probability.

Column descriptions:

Output Population - see ALFA computed populations

BioSample ID - population BioSample accession ID

Subjects - unique subject count by population

Total Site Count - total unique variant sites reported

MAF = 0 - site homozygous for the reference allele and no variant allele detected from the current subject sample size; possibly rare if subject size > 100

MAF >= 0.01 - common variant with MAF >= 0.01

0.01 > MAF >= 0.001 - rare variants

MAF < 0.001 - ultra rare variants

Singleton - minor allele is found once
