    Hi Shivangi Agarwal

    Mutect2 and HaplotypeCaller of GATK utilizes local reassembly for genotyping of variants and the default parameters of both tools are mostly optimized for whole genome and exome sequencing samples and therefore may not be enough for other special NGS data types such as amplicon sequencing. Depth of data may also be an issue for some variants however these tools have bunch of parameters for tuning for those cases and some of the most useful parameters are summarized in the following article

    Can you try some of the recommended tunable parameters and let us know whether that works for you? 

    Regards.
