Illumina genotyping report to Plink files

I just received my genotyping report files from Illumina, with the locus summary file, and I want to convert the files to Plink files.

They came as CSV so I converted them to tab delimited (.txt) and wanted to use gcta to convert into map + ped. However, I get the map file but get an error ("segmentation error") when it tries to create the .ped

My locus summary file

Is there any way of doing this? I would appreciate any suggestions.

Thank you

Does segmentation error typically mean that there is not enough memory?

Try this

Thanks! I had to create the .lgen by moving some rows from the initial report and then Plink worked fine for creating the .ped
