MYL2 variants in HCM cohorts


The table below lists the 46 rare (MAF<0.0001 in ExAC) protein-altering MYL2 variants identified in a cohort of 4185 HCM patients (1535 patients from OMGL, 2650 patients from LMM). When this rare variant frequency of 0.01099 is compared with a background population rate of 0.00176, there is a statistically significant case excess of 0.00923 (p<0.0001), which suggests that approximately 39 of these variants may be pathogenic.
