Function to filter the mutations

Description

This function filter the mutations in the MAF format using thresholds on various features

Usage

filterMAF(
  mafFilePath,
  flag_genes = "default",
  save_name = NULL,
  no_filter = FALSE,
  norm_alt_max = 1,
  t_alt_min = 1,
  t_depth_min = 20,
  tumor_freq_min = 0.05,
  norm_freq_max = 0.02,
  gnomAD_AF_max = 0.001,
  AF_max = 0.001,
  ExAC_AF_max = 0.001,
  n_callers = 2,
  variant_caller = NULL
)

Arguments

mafFilePath	The path of the file containing the mutation information in the MAF format
flag_genes	The list of genes used as flag genes
save_name	The name and path of the output file to save filtered MAFs
no_filter	Flag to filter the MAF (Default no_filter=FALSE)
norm_alt_max	Alt norm max (Default norm_alt_max=1)
t_alt_min	Alt t min (Default t_alt_min=1)
t_depth_min	Depth t min (Default t_depth_min=20)
tumor_freq_min	Tumor Frequency Minimum (Default tumor_freq_min=0.05)
norm_freq_max	norm_freq_max (Default norm_freq_max=0.02)
gnomAD_AF_max	Maximum allele frequency in gnomAD database (Default gnomAD_AF_max=0.001)
AF_max	Maximum allele frequency in 1000 genome database (Default AF_max=0.001)
ExAC_AF_max	Maximum allele frequency in ExAC database (Default ExAC_AF_max=0.01)
n_callers	Minimum number of callers identified mutation. (Default n_callers=2)
variant_caller	Name of variant caller to be used or "consensus" to apply filter based on 'n_callers' (Default variant_caller=NULL)

Value

An object of class MAF with the filtered mutations
