I want to analyze a series of rare (MAF<0.01) co-mutations. For doing the QC I'm setting --geno 0.1 and --hwe 1x10^-15. How should I choose these threshold though? My data consists of approximately 300k individuals and 500k variants.

What type of trait (binary or quantitative) are you studying in these data? You should use different HWE p value thresholds for cases and controls in binary traits. And use different HWE p value criteria for quantitative trait. You can use this article as a reference.

I'm looking at ICD10 codes, so binary traits.
