* - In parent/child pairs: If an individual genotype is missing at one site, the other one is phased if it is homozygous. No phasing probability is emitted.
* - In trios: If the child is missing, parents are treated as separate individuals and phased if homozygous. No phasing probability is emitted.
- * - In trios: If one of the parents is missing, it is handled like a parent/child pair. Phasing is done unless both the parent and child are heterozygous and a phasing probabilitt is emitted.

* - In trios: If two individuals are missing, the remaining individual is phased if it is homozygous. No phasing probability is emitted.
