I used a Genotyping software called T1K to generate KIR genotyping, the output file contains genes and alleles for each sample, how can i convert the results to a vcf file or other formats which can be used in plink? The file i have for now looks like this:

Gene_name Allele_1 Allele_2
KIR2DL1 KIR2DL1*004 KIR2DL1*042
KIR2DL4 KIR2DL4*005 KIR2DL4*005
KIR3DL1 KIR3DL1*005 KIR3DL1*005
KIR3DP1 KIR3DP1*006 KIR3DP1*010

My thought is to first convert the above file to a vcf file and use plink to generate bedbimfam from it, a standard vcf is like this:

##fileformat=VCFv4.3
##fileDate=20090805
##source=myImputationProgramV3.1

Any tools can be used to realize it? For now i only have Gene names and allele names for each sample, How to obtain other genetic informtation a vcf file needed?

  • $\begingroup$ Hi! I am not so familiar with this output format. Could you explain what we are looking at in the output sample? $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ I am not at all familiar with KIR genotyping, but is there a way of converting things like KIR2DL1*042 into chromosome, position, ref and alt? Is there some database that lists what these KIR notations actually mean? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ I would also recommend searching dbsnp for the kir mutations. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ your output file does not seem to match what is described in T1K docs. Are there other files output? T1K is supposed to output a VCF even. $\endgroup$
