All SNPs failing the composite quality filter were removed [ i.e. SNPs with missing call rate ≥ 5%, SNPs with Mendelian errors in three HapMap trios > 0, HWE P < 1 × 10−4, and SNPs with more than one discordant genotype call across the 89 duplicated study samples (39 blind duplicates and 50 white duplicates plated on African American plates].
The pairwise correlations for beta values among CEPH replicates were excellent (≥0.97 for Batches 1 and 2, and >0.99 for Batch 3), as were the intra-class correlations of beta values among CEPH replicates (>0.98 for Batches 1 and 2, and >0.99 for Batch 3) and among duplicated study participant samples (>0.93 for Batches 1 and 2, and >0.81 for Batch 3).
