Why it matters in GWAS

GWAS genotypes are usually diploid summaries; imputation and phasing operate on haplotypes (haploid chromosomes). Haploid coverage matters for chrX modeling and for some quality metrics.

Example usage

"Genotype QC and interpretation explicitly accounted for Haploid status at candidate loci."

Click any node to open that term page.

Node order. The current term is first. Next come every page linked from Related terms, in the same top-to-bottom order as that list. Then new terms appear in two-hop layers: for each of those direct neighbors (in that same order), their related terms are appended if not already listed. A third pass does the same for two-hop nodes. The walk stops when a fixed maximum number of nodes is reached.
