Hi, I used plink to clean my dataset. All sample in the dataset were believed female. But I can see some marker on Chr24 do exit in female samples. How this happens?
thanks!

What is your genotyping platform? Did you run imputation? Some of the markers might be located in regions that are similar enough to give a signal, based on the short probes on genotyping arrays; there aare some regions with DNA sequence similarity between X and Y. If you know your sample is female, you should filter the markers on Y.

My platform is Illumina.This data have not been imputed. I think your answer is reasonable. Thanks
