Clarification of a neutral CNV #115

Open vucinick opened 1 year ago

Hi,

I couldn't find anywhere what does status (type of alteration) neutral mean in a CNV file? Why is it reported? If an organism is diploid, and I get CNV of 2, I would expect that's normal. Should I just ignore the ones that have CN normal? My datatable looks like this: image

Control-FREEC (v11.6) was run as a part of NF-core pipeline sarek.

Hello!

The neutral alteration could be special case of LOH where the alteration does not result in a loss of copy number.

I was also wondering if you could share your config file as well. I am having a lot of trouble in getting the LOH calling to run and obtaining the 'somatic.germline' column as you have. I just want to see which parameters should be set and what SNP file you are using to get this to run effectively.

thanks Daniall

Hi Daniall,

Thank you for your response! After the closer inspection, yes it was LOH events, thank you :)

Here is the config file used in the nf-core Sarek pipeline: Control-FREEC.config.txt.

Cheers, Kim
