DSG2 variants in ARVC cohorts


The table below lists the 17 rare (MAF<0.0001 in ExAC) protein-altering DSG2 variants identified in a cohort of 354 ARVC patients. When this rare variant frequency of 0.04802 is compared with a background population rate of 0.01298, there is a statistically significant case excess of 0.03504 (p<0.0001), which suggests that approximately 12 of these variants may be pathogenic.
