-We will include XO, XXY, and XYY karyotypes when they occur but mark these unusual sex chromosome patterns. These karyotypes were likely called correctly in GenomeStudio; however, their inferred sex based on the X-chromosome inbreeding coefficient (F value) typically falls within the 0.2–0.8 range (ambiguous). Therefore, such samples should be manually retained. Samples with low X heterozygosity (&amp;lt;5%) or rare karyotypes (e.g., XXX) wil be removed as they are difficult to genotype will be excluded. Pipelines need to track all deleted individuals and the reasons for their deletion, as some investigators are specifically interested in sex chromosome anomalies and how these may relate to cancer risk and aging.
