The table below lists the 95 rare (MAF<0.0001 in ExAC) truncating PKP2 variants identified in a cohort of 361 ARVC patients. When this rare variant frequency of 0.26316 is compared with a background population rate of 0.00076, there is a statistically significant case excess of 0.26240 (p<0.0001), which suggests that approximately 95 of these variants may be pathogenic.
