Loss of heterozygosity analysis from SNV files

Hi All, Is there any way to identify the Loss of heterozygosity region from the blood and tumor snv vcf files? Or any cut-off for minimum number of homozygous SNPs in a segment to be called a LOH? Thanks

I think Varscan2 outputs LOH events from tumot-normal pair.

True. Use the processSomatic subcommand for matched-normal samples.

Thank you Yes, VarScan2 outputs LOH events from tumor-normal pair, but these are SNVs only. And since LOH is a region of allelic imbalance. How to get the region of LOH from these SNP-Indels?

I think that the regions of LOH are labelled as ""SS=3" in the vcf file from VARSCAN.
