The table below lists the 32 rare (MAF<0.0001 in ExAC) protein-altering DSP variants identified in a cohort of 427 DCM patients (304 patients from OMGL, 123 patients from LMM). When this rare variant frequency of 0.07494 is compared with a background population rate of 0.03148, there is a statistically significant case excess of 0.04346 (p<0.0001), which suggests that approximately 19 of these variants may be pathogenic.
