My notable variation for a haplotype says "indeterminate" - what does this mean?Updated 4 months ago

An "indeterminate" haplotype will appear when the SNPs that make up the haplotype could not be called.

For example, it will state "indeterminate COMT haplotype".

One or more SNPs will show a call of "-", meaning that the lab was unable to report that specific SNP due to poor saliva sample. This could be caused by the following reasons:

• Not enough DNA
• The saliva sample was possibly slightly contaminated with bacterial DNA or other contaminants 

Note: This "-" does NOT mean you have a "wildtype/normal" gene. It means that it could NOT be called due to the sample quality.
