But how much does a difference of 0.5% matter on this metric?
It's actually possible that DeepVariant is implicitly learning some of these correlations (1). This would make it really really bad for picking out the rare persons that don't fit a trend (and tend to be very important for identifying disease loci). GATK definitely does not know about correlated SNPs.
(1) The paper implies this is not the case, saying that DeepVariant works for other genomes without retraining, but they don't show the relevant results.
