How to check the quality of VCF file for GWAS analysis
I recently started a GWAS project. My previous colleagues have preprocessed the genotyping file and made the vcf file (each person, each variant).
What aspects can I check that if the files are qualitywise ready for GWAS analyses?
Thanks.

Assuming you're processing WGS data:
Gatk provides a few answers with the VQSR score or their hard filters. But truth is you won't find a filter that works perfectly. My advice would be follow these standards that are quite permissive, and check a posteriori your hits on IGV (or equivalent) to make sure your variants are true positive.
