How to choose confidence level of imputation of genetic data?

22 January 2019 0 7K Report

A lab I work with offer to impute the genetic data I use for analysis of SNPs. So far I only used proxies in LD when the markers I needed were missing from the data file.

Is it realistic to ask for a confidence interval of 95% and still get results for no-calls?

I'm working with commercial chip arrays.

Thanks
