    Hi Ben Oppenheimer

    This question was answered inside the slack channel therefore I will attach the official response from there and close the topic as resolved. 

    Response from @slee from the slack channel:

    OK, looks like it's actually the dbsnp resource that is problematic (specifically, at rs9278466); running ValidateVariants gives:
    A USER ERROR has occurred: Input gs://gcp-public-data--broad-references/hg19/v0/dbsnp_138.b37.vcf.gz fails strict validation of type ALL: the REF allele is incorrect for the record at position 6:29912413, fasta says TG vs. VCF says TT
    Depending on your use case, you can probably safely drop the dbsnp resource, as it is only used to mark known sites and doesn't affect the filtering.
