Pseudo-code for interesting shared haplotype inference. The interesting shared haplotypes (SHs) are inferred based on the user input, which defines the names for cases and controls as well as the thresholds for the number of homozygous and heterozygous samples in the interesting SH. Each SH is evaluated using the evaluate function, which takes the user parameters as an input. The evaluation is done for case and control thresholds separately, but the Boolean result value is negated for controls. The evaluate function calculates how many times the named samples (cases or controls) share the SH, and if the thresholds are exceeded, it returns a true value, otherwise it returns a false value.
