* Haplotype calling essential
* Prefiltering (pruning) of the allele definition tables provided by PharmGKB
* Rare variants (< 1% mean minor allele frequency) account for 89% of all (different kinds of) deleterious mutations (affect 30-40% of patients with non-normal allele function according to [[NGS|''Lauschke et al.'']])
* Rare variants should only be used for research
* Multiple star alleles are for some genes expected on same haplotype. Suggestion: look for the functional effect of variants within star alleles instead of looking for star alleles, making decision trees that prioritize variants
