We have used the –relatedness2 method of Vcftools (version 0.1.14) software for the Kinship analysis. The algorithm uses the method proposed by Manichaikul and colleagues14. The kinship coefficients matrix of 43 samples belonging to 3 families were subjected to hierarchical cluster analysis using MeV tool (version 4.9).
