Get variant information from any LD reference source.

Auto-detects the source type (PLINK2, PLINK1, VCF, GDS, or pre-computed LD metadata) and returns variant metadata. For PLINK2, opens only the .pvar file. For PLINK1, reads only the .bim file. For VCF and GDS, loads the full file and extracts variant info.

Usage

get_ref_variant_info(source, region = NULL)

Arguments

source

Genotype file path/prefix or LD metadata file path.

region

Region of interest: "chr:start-end" string or data.frame with chrom/start/end. If NULL, returns all variants.

Value

A data.frame with columns: chrom, id, pos, A2, A1. May also include allele_freq, variance, n_nomiss depending on source.
