  1. Common features of variants classified by the model as low confidence. “Present” indicates that the variant was confirmed present by Sanger sequencing, and “Not Present” indicates that the variant was not present by Sanger sequencing. The number of low confidence variants with AF (allele frequency) less than and greater than or equal to 30% are reported in parentheses. Note that some of the categories are not mutually exclusive
