Hi All,

I am having issues with plink as it is not able to detect pheno file( $METADATA as shown below) and I was wondering if someone has solution. Thanks!

[AN@AN 03-PLINK-QC-files]$ head $METADATA
FID     IID     SEX     STATUS  WXS
10R_R48 10R_R48_11      2       2       2
10R_R48 10R_R48_1       2       2       1
10R_R54 10R_R54_10      2       1       2

This is the command I am trying to run:

plink1.9 --bfile ${BFILE} --pheno ${METADATA} --pheno-name WXS --test-missing --allow-no-sex --out ${BFILE}-missing-WXS

This is the log I am getting which says 0 phenotype values present after --pheno. which obviously means it's not reading my phenotype file. Is there anything I am missing here?

Check the correspondence between FID/IID in $METADATA and FID/IIDs in your .fam file.

Hi, Thanks for your comment. I think that makes sense. How do I add actual FID in my BFILE? Right now, I have IID and FID same in .fam.

This is the command I used to create BFILE. How do I add actual FID instead of --double-id?

plink1.9 --vcf ${VCF} --double-id --keep-allele-order --make-bed --out ${BFILE}
