Note the GQ value, which is quite low for the child. You might consider filtering by quality.
You will run into this sort of thing on occasion. The general causes are (1) sequencing error (2) genotype call error (3) sample swap (this should be pretty obvious though) (4) non-paternity. The last one is more common than you would think (1-3% of cases where there's otherwise no dispute of paternity), though you'll again end up with a lot of sites like this.

Reading a vcf - genotypes
Hi, I am trying to understand the genotype calls in my vcf, a trio.
Looking at one variant of interest, the calls are:
Dad Mum Kid
0/2 2/1 1/1
How can the kid be 1/1?
The full information is:
FORMAT
GT:AD
P:GQ:PL
Dad
0/2:9,3,0:16:19.63:134,0,98,27,20,47
Mum
145 2/1:8,4,0:20:15.38:197,15,52,44,0,41
Child
1/1:7,2,0:11:1.37:113,31,61,9,1,0
Thanks for any help.

At the intersection of cytogenetics and genomics lies the exciting field of cytogenomics. It focuses on studying chromosomes at a molecular scale, involving techniques that analyze either the whole genome or particular DNA sequences to examine variations in structure and behavior at the chromosomal or subchromosomal level. By integrating cytogenetic techniques with genomic analysis, researchers can effectively investigate chromosomal abnormalities related to diseases, particularly...09-26-2023, 06:26 AM -
Cancer research has been transformed through numerous molecular techniques, with RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) playing a crucial role in understanding the complexity of the disease. Maša Ivin, Ph.D., Scientific Writer at Lexogen, and Yvonne Goepel Ph.D., Product Manager at Lexogen, remarked that “The high-throughput nature of RNA-seq allows for rapid profiling and deep exploration of the transcriptome.” They emphasized its indispensable role in cancer research, aiding in biomarker...09-07-2023, 11:15 PM
