Low heterozygosity rates in simulated reads

Hello,

Recently I've tried to use ART simulator to create some reads for further analysis. I've used the next command to do so (I am using chr20 of hg19 reference genome):

art_illumina -sam -i hg19_chr20.fa -p -l 100 -ss HS25 -f 10 -m 200 -s 10 -o test

After converting the sam file to bam, sorting and indexing it, I've used ANGSD software to calculate the proportion of heterozygous genotypes (as described here) , that turned out to be extremely low (1e-9)

Am I missing some option in ART that can handle this, or is it because I am using chromosome 20 of hg19 as input sequence? (I've tried to use the whole reference genome as an input for ART and obtained better results (1e-6), however it's still not realistic) Can it be the way ANGSD produces genotype likelihood files?
