PKP2 variants in DCM cohorts


The table below lists the 7 rare (MAF<0.0001 in ExAC) protein-altering PKP2 variants identified in a cohort of 427 DCM patients (304 patients from OMGL, 123 patients from LMM). When this rare variant frequency of 0.01639 is compared with a background population rate of 0.01358, there is a case excess of 0.00281, although this is not statistically significant for protein-altering PKP2 variants in DCM (p=0.5287).
