DES variants in ARVC cohorts


The table below lists the 3 rare (MAF<0.0001 in ExAC) protein-altering DES variants identified in a cohort of 93 ARVC patients. When this rare variant frequency of 0.03226 is compared with a background population rate of 0.00472, there is a case excess of 0.02754, although this is not statistically significant for protein-altering DES variants in ARVC (p=0.0101).
