What you have looks like it would try to change a file named FILE_1000G.vcf to instead have the literal name $filename_1000G.vcf assuming that the only file in the directory where you run this script is named FILE_1000G.vcf.
As you know, shell variable expansions are not expanded when $variable_name appears inside single quotes. And, if your system has a rename utility, it probably won't be happy with operands that do not contain the string you're trying to replace. (I know of several systems that have a rename() function in C; but I don't have access to any that have a rename utility.) So, in case your system does have a rename utility that does what I'm guessing you're trying to do, you might want to try:
Assuming that you're using a POSIX conforming shell (which you have not specified), and using just standard utilities, you might want to try something more like:
This should work in any directory containing zero or more regular files with filenames that contain the literal string FILE one or more times (replacing only the first occurrence of FILE if FILE appears more than once in a filename).
Thanks Don, I liked your 1st code, just learned something!

APPLE_DUMP(1) Netatalk 2.2 APPLE_DUMP(1)NAME
apple_dump - Dump AppleSingle/AppleDouble format file
SYNOPSIS
apple_dump [-a] FILE | DIR
apple_dump -f FILE
apple_dump -d FILE
apple_dump -h | -help | --help
apple_dump -v | -version | --version
DESCRIPTION
apple_dump dump AppleSingle/AppleDouble format file.
OPTIONS -a FILE|DIR
This is default. Dump a AppleSingle/AppleDouble file for FILE or DIR automatically. Extrapolate FinderInfo type from absolute path. If
FILE is not AppleSingle/AppleDouble format, look for .AppleDouble/FILE and ._FILE. If DIR, look for DIR/.AppleDouble/.Parent and ._DIR.
-f FILE
Dump FILE. Assume FinderInfo to be FileInfo.
-d FILE
Dump FILE. Assume FinderInfo to be DirInfo.
-h, -help, --help
Display the help and exit
-v, -version, --version
Show version and exit
NOTE
There is no way to detect whether FinderInfo is FileInfo or DirInfo. By default, apple_dump examins whether file or directory, a parent
directory is .AppleDouble, filename is ._*, filename is .Parent, and so on.
If setting option -f or -d, assume FinderInfo and doesn't look for another file.
