The table below lists the 0 rare (MAF<0.0001 in ExAC) truncating LMNA variants identified in a cohort of 93 ARVC patients. As the background population rate of rare truncating LMNA variants (0.00014) is greater than this case frequency (0.00000), there is no excess of variants in this ARVC patient cohort, suggesting that truncating LMNA variants are not causative for ARVC.
