Double Alt Heterozygous Variant In Vcf?
Was wondering how VCF denotes a heterozygous variant in which both alleles are different from the reference? E.g.: A to G/T.
I know how to express A > G/A or A > G/G, but wasn't able to find an explanation for the above the spec. I may have also been looking in the wrong place. Thanks in advance!

you'll find A in the REF column
and G,T in the ALT column
"ALT : comma separated list of alternate non-reference alleles called on at least one of the samples"
