Genotype and AD in Mutect2 vcf output
Why do I see the following genotypes and AD:
| #CHROM | POS | ID | REF | ALT | QUAL | FILTER | INFO | FORMAT | 196_A51_H3 | WT |
| chr10 | 3125031 | . | G | A | . | PASS | AC=30;AN=60;AS_FilterStatus=SITE;AS_SB_TABLE=61,33|3,1;DP=1492;ECNT=2;GERMQ=93;MBQ=34,34;MFRL=176,183;MMQ=60,60;MPOS=37;POPAF=7.30;SF=0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14;TLOD=7.31 | GT:F2R1:SB:DP:F1R2:AD:FAD:AF | 0/1:15,2:29,12,3,1:45:20,2:41,4:36,4:0.119 | 0/1:20,0:32,21,0,0:53:21,0:53,0:43,0:0.022 |
I understand that sample 196_A51_H3 is a heterozygote, and the AD for the REF allele is 15 and for the ALT allele is 2. I think that the WT sample is homozygote for the REF allele, still the genotype is 0/1 and the AD for the REF allele is 20 and 0 for the ALT allele.
Can you please tell me if I have made an error in my interpretation or why the WT genotype is written as 0/1?
GATK version was GATK 4.3.
Thanks

Ester Feldmesserin The GT field in Mutect2 is basically meaningless -- 0/1 in the tumor and 0/0 in the normal is merely an indicator of a somatic variant, but the concept of an integer genotype isn't really well-defined when it comes to somatic calling.
