Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Clarified that a low share of MAPQ 0 reads may indicate an aligner has omitted reads that fit both copies.
    • Added guidance on interpreting SMN1 silent-carrier markers and optional Lp(a) results, including their limitations.
    • Updated descriptions of family reports, re-check information, and run-status details shown on person pages.

…eck lines as main draws them

The family page is a report in five chapters and a person's page carries a Family card with a link per family; the re-check banner sits in its card under the step timeline, in section 10 and in the line under the timeline.

Bead: pgp-5bja
…rops multi-mapping reads

A low share can have other causes; the message and the doc no longer state it as the only one.

Walkthrough

This PR qualifies the MAPQ explanation, adds SMN1 and Lp(a) interpretation guidance, and updates documentation for family reports, re-check notices, and person-page state.

Changes: MAPQ wording

Layer / File(s) Summary
Qualify the MAPQ explanation
bin/copy_number.py, docs/cn-loci.md
The code message and method documentation describe low or absent MAPQ 0 reads as a possible sign that an aligner left out reads fitting both copies.

Marker interpretation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Document SMN1 and Lp(a) results
docs/interpreting-results.md
The guide describes SMN1 silent-carrier marker statuses and their effect on likelihood when two copies are reported. It also documents opt-in Lp(a) results and limits on interpretation.

Live-site documentation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Update live-site descriptions
docs/multi-sample.md, docs/recheck.md, docs/run-state.md
The docs describe the family report chapters and person-page links, the location and wording of re-check notices, and the person page’s use of state.json.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: Low · up to f1ec1

The guidance can overstate certainty about SMN1 testing and LPA absence and leave the family relationship flag ambiguous. These bounded documentation issues warrant correction.

Review details

Systems and components

  • observed — bin (service) was modified; 1 changed file maps to changed impact.
  • observed — docs (service) was modified; 5 changed files map to changed impact.

Before / after behavior

  • observed — Modified behavior in bin/copy_number.py: psv_message changes the low-MAPQ explanation from calling the aligner behavior “the sign” to calling it “a possible sign.”
  • observed — Modified behavior in docs/cn-loci.md: The MAPQ 0 documentation now describes few or no such reads as a possible sign that the aligner left reads out, replacing the definitive statement that no such reads means it did.
  • observed — Modified behavior in docs/interpreting-results.md: The guide documents the SMN1 marker output and its statuses; with two SMN1 copies, it says present raises and not seen lowers the likelihood of a 2+0 silent-carrier configuration, while neither proves it.
  • observed — Modified behavior in docs/interpreting-results.md: A new opt-in Lp(a) section documents the KIV-2 count, interval and class, the 4925G>A marker statuses, and their presentation alongside two LPA risk variants. It states that the results do not establish which chromosome carries each variant, that not seen does not prove absence at low depth, and that a blood Lp(a) test is the measure.

One SMN1 copy suggests SMA carrier status; two do not rule it out (two copies on one chromosome, none on the other). Trust a value only with quality 20 or more and filter `PASS`, and confirm anything that matters with a clinical SMN1 test. [Step 35](35-paralogs.md#interpreting-results) explains the columns.

**The silent-carrier marker:** `${SAMPLE}/paralogs/${SAMPLE}_smn1_marker.tsv` reads SMN1 g.27134T>G (rs143838139), and both reports and the live person page print it right under the SMN1 copies: `present`, `uncertain`, `not seen`, `too little depth` or `not assessed`. With two SMN1 copies, `present` raises the chance that both sit on one chromosome (2+0, a silent carrier) and `not seen` lowers it; it proves neither, and the figures depend on ancestry. A carrier test in a clinical laboratory confirms it. [The SMN1 silent-carrier marker](35-paralogs.md#the-smn1-silent-carrier-marker) gives the thresholds.

Do not promise that a clinical carrier test confirms 2+0.

Some clinical carrier tests cannot determine whether the two SMN1 copies are on the same chromosome. The result can therefore leave silent-carrier status unresolved. Recommend clinical testing and genetic counseling, while noting that further testing may be needed. (ncbi.nlm.nih.gov)

**Where to look:** `${SAMPLE}/lpa/${SAMPLE}_lpa_kiv2.tsv`, the KIV-2 repeat count over both chromosomes with its 95% interval and class, and `${SAMPLE}/lpa/${SAMPLE}_lpa_kiv2_4925.tsv`, the KIV-2 4925G>A splice variant. Both reports put the count beside the two LPA risk variants of step 42 (rs10455872, rs3798220), and print the 4925G>A line right under the count: `present` or `uncertain` with the reads that carry it and the copies, `not seen`, `too little depth` or `not assessed`.

Fewer repeats or a risk allele point to a higher Lp(a); a 4925G>A copy lowers the Lp(a) made from the chromosome that carries it. Neither tells which chromosome carries what, and `not seen` is not proof of absence at low depth. The count is a research estimate: the Lp(a) blood test is the measure, once in every adult. [Step 46](46-lpa.md) explains the columns.

Do not limit the absence caveat to low depth.

A variant in one repeat among many can yield few reads even when the total depth passes the threshold. bin/lpa_kiv2.py:182-184 therefore says not seen is not proof of absence without a depth qualifier. Remove “at low depth” to avoid implying that adequate depth proves absence. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Comment thread docs/multi-sample.md
- **The members side by side**: each sequenced member's CYP2D6 calls, CPIC phenotypes, HLA types, haplogroups and blood groups from their `summary.json`, one column each; `.` where a member's summary has no such row, "no summary yet" for a member without one.
- **The couple carrier screen**, per couple: how many genes `couple_<a>_<b>.tsv` lists as `shared` and as `x_linked`, and a link to `couple_<a>_<b>.md`. A count of 0 is not an all-clear; the report says what the screen does not see.
- **I, the pedigree and members.** `bin/pedigree_svg.py` draws it from `members.tsv`, or from `pedigree.tsv` when step 38 has not run, each time the page asks. A square is a male, a circle a female, a diamond a sex not known; a filled symbol is a sequenced person (with only `pedigree.tsv`, a person with a row of their own). A line joins partners, and the children hang from it, one generation per row. It draws what the file declares; the relationship check below is what tests it. Beside it, the members and the analyses step 38 planned (`family_plan.tsv`).
- **II, who is related how**: the relationship check (`relationships.tsv`) and the shared segments (`ibd_pairs.tsv`) as one grid of every pair, with ⚑ where the measured relationship differs from the declared one (a list of pairs on a phone).

Clarify which result controls the flag.

assets/live/family-page.js sets the flag from the relationships.tsv verdict, not from the ibd_pairs.tsv degree. An IBD degree can therefore differ from the declared relationship without a flag. Tell readers to compare that degree separately. (raw.githubusercontent.com)
