Documentation : Filtering Criteria Explained

Dynamic_Filters
De Novo This filter automatically searches for De Novo variants in the selected sample. It retains only variants absent from parental samples (or present as homozygous reference). If a single parent is available, a warning will be issued. If no parents are available, the query is not executed. The optional quality check applies the same quality metrics defined for the selected sample, to the parental samples. Note, this might increase the number of putative De Novo variants in case of low quality parental data! Activating the option to exclude non_covered variants will only report a variant if the position is confidently called as reference in the parental VCF. Note, this triggers exclusion of positions of low parental quality (applying the criteria. In case GVCF data is available, confident regions (GQ>20) are also taken into account as covered positions.
Dominant This filter automatically searches for Dominant variants in the selected sample. It retains only variants present in all affected family members. Increase the unaffected-carrier value to simulate reduced penetrance. If no family is available, the query is not executed. The optional quality check applies the same quality metrics defined for the selected sample, to the family samples. Note, this might affect the number of variants in case of low quality family data! Excluding homozygous variants limits the candidate variants to heterozygous cosegregation.
Recessive (general) This filter automatically searches for recessive variants in the selected sample. It retains only variants present as homozygous in all affected family members. Parental samples are not checked for heterozygous presence of the variants. Increase the unaffected-carrier value to allow homozygous unaffected carriers, simulating reduced penetrance. If no family is available, this query reduces to retrieving all homozygous variants. The optional quality check applies the same quality metrics defined for the selected sample, to the family samples. Note, this might affect the number of variants in case of low quality family data!
Recessive (biparental) This filter automatically searches for recessive variants in the selected sample. It retains only variants present as homozygous in all affected family members AND heterozygous in both parents of each affected case. Increase the unaffected-carrier value to allow homozygous unaffected carriers, simulating reduced penetrance. If no family is available, or any affected sample does not have two parents associated, this query will not execute. The optional quality check applies the same quality metrics defined for the selected sample, to the family samples. Note, this might affect the number of variants in case of low quality family data!
Recessive (Compound Heterozygous) This filter automatically searches for compound heterozygous variants in the set of remaining variants. It retains variant combinations in the same gene that are biparentally inherited. If parents are not available, the query is not executed. The optional quality check applies the same quality metrics defined for the selected sample, to the parental samples. Note, this might impact the number of putative variants in case of low quality parental data! Activating the option to exclude non_covered variants will only report a variant if the position is called as heterozygous in the parental VCF. By default non-called positions in the parents are considered as possibly heterozygous.
Pathogenic Prediction Select variants predicted to be damaging by a minimal number of tools, out of a user-defined list. Pathogenic predictions are : LJB-LRT:'D' ; LJB-MT:0.95; LJB-PhyloP:0.95; LJB-PP2:0.95; LJB-SIFT:0.95; CADD-Phred:20; Web-Sift:0.95; Provean:2.5 (absolute value)
 

Family
In Parents If parental samples are available, select one or more samples that should (not) contain variants seen in the current sample. Genotype can be specified to only consider heterozygous or homozygous variants. Note that selection of multiple samples in a single rule equals to an "OR" statement, while setting multiple rules each containing one parent, equals to "AND" filtering.
In Siblings If sibling samples are available, select one or more samples that should (not) contain variants seen in the current sample. Genotype can be specified to only consider heterozygous or homozygous variants. Note that selection of multiple samples in a single rule equals to an "OR" statement, while setting multiple rules each containing one sample, equals to "AND" filtering.
In Siblings beta If sibling samples are available, select one or more samples that should (not) contain variants seen in the current sample. Genotype can be specified to only consider heterozygous or homozygous variants. Note that selection of multiple samples in a single rule equals to an "OR" statement, while setting multiple rules each containing one sample, equals to "AND" filtering.
In Children If offspring samples are available, select one or more samples that should (not) contain variants seen in the current sample. Genotype can be specified to only consider heterozygous or homozygous variants. Note that selection of multiple samples in a single rule equals to an "OR" statement, while setting multiple rules each containing one child, equals to "AND" filtering.
In Replica If biological replicates are available, for example paired tumor/normal samples, select one or more samples that should (not) contain variants seen in the current sample. Genotype can be specified to only consider heterozygous or homozygous variants. Note that selection of multiple samples in a single rule equals to an "OR" statement, while setting multiple rules each containing one replicate, equals to "AND" filtering.
In Custom A Custom groups allow to assign related (e.g. phenotype), but not familial samples samples to a individual. . Genotype can be specified to only consider heterozygous or homozygous variants. Note that selection of multiple samples in a single rule equals to an "OR" statement, while setting multiple rules each containing one replicate, equals to "AND" filtering.
In Custom B Custom groups allow to assign related (e.g. phenotype), but not familial samples samples to a individual. Genotype can be specified to only consider heterozygous or homozygous variants. Note that selection of multiple samples in a single rule equals to an "OR" statement, while setting multiple rules each containing one replicate, equals to "AND" filtering.

Quality
Variant PhredScore The Phred scaled probability of Probability that REF/ALT polymorphism exists at this site given sequencing data. Because the Phred scale is -10 * log(1-p), a value of 10 indicates a 1 in 10 chance of error, while a 100 indicates a 1 in 10^10 chance. The GATK values can grow very large when lots of NGS data is used to call.
Genotype PhredScore The Genotype Quality, as a Phred-scaled confidence at the true genotype is the one provided in GT. In diploid case, if GT is 0/1, then GQ is really L(0/1) / (L(0/0) + L(0/1) + L(1/1)), where L is the likelihood of the NGS sequencing data under the model of that the sample is 0/0, 0/1/, or 1/1.
Reference Allele Depth Number of reads passing GATK quality threshold, with the reference allele
Alternative Allele Depth Number of reads passing GATK quality threshold, with the alternative allele
Total Depth Sum of Reference and Alternative Depth
Allelic Ratio Fraction of total reads called as alternative allele
Mapping Quality Root Mean Square of the mapping quality of the reads across all samples.
BaseQuality RankSum The u-based z-approximation from the Mann-Whitney Rank Sum Test for base qualities (ref bases vs. bases of the alternate allele). Note that the base quality rank sum test can not be calculated for homozygous sites.
MappingQuality RankSum The u-based z-approximation from the Mann-Whitney Rank Sum Test for mapping qualities (reads with ref bases vs. those with the alternate allele) Note that the mapping quality rank sum test can not be calculated for homozygous sites.
ReadPosition RankSum The u-based z-approximation from the Mann-Whitney Rank Sum Test for the distance from the end of the read for reads with the alternate allele; if the alternate allele is only seen near the ends of reads this is indicative of error. Note that the read position rank sum test can not be calculated for homozygous sites.
StrandBias How much evidence is there for Strand Bias (the variation being seen on only the forward or only the reverse strand) in the reads? Higher SB values denote more bias (and therefore are more likely to indicate false positive calls).
Quality By Depth Variant confidence (given as (AB+BB)/AA from the PLs) / unfiltered depth. (PL : phred-scaled likelyhood of the genotype). Low scores are indicative of false positive calls and artifacts. Note that QualByDepth requires sequencing reads associated with the samples with polymorphic genotypes.
Fisher Scaled StrandBias Phred-scaled p-value using Fisher Exact Test to detect strand bias (the variation being seen on only the forward or only the reverse strand) in the reads. More bias is indicative of false positive calls. Note that the fisher strand test may not be calculated for certain complex indel cases or for multi-allelic sites.
VQSLOD VQSLOD is the log odds ratio of being a true variant versus being false under the trained Gaussian mixture model when Variant Recalibration is applied.
DeltaPL This field provides the likelihoods of the given genotypes (here, 0/0, 0/1, and 1/1). These are normalized, Phred-scaled likelihoods for each of the 0/0, 0/1, and 1/1, without priors. To be concrete, for the heterozygous case, this is L(data given that the true genotype is 0/1). The most likely genotype (given in the GT field) is scaled so that it's P = 1.0 (0 when Phred-scaled), and the other likelihoods reflect their Phred-scaled likelihoods relative to this most likely genotype
Tranches Filter Content from VCF FILTER field. In case of GATK VQSR this is the confidence tranche.
Variant In Stretch Select variants located in stretch of repetitive sequence, as indicated by GATK recent versions. Annotations StretchUnit and StretchLength Give more information about the stretch
Stretch Length Select variants based on the stretch repeat length (eg homopolymer stretches). Both alleles must fullfill this criterium.
