ACTN2 variants in HCM cohorts


The table below lists the 7 rare (MAF<0.0001 in ExAC) protein-altering ACTN2 variants identified in a cohort of 807 HCM patients. As the background population rate of rare protein-altering ACTN2 variants (0.01086) is greater than this case frequency (0.00867), there is no excess of variants in this HCM patient cohort, suggesting that protein-altering ACTN2 variants are not causative for HCM.


Variant Type:      All protein-altering variants     -     Truncating variants     -     Non-Truncating variants
