TCAP variants in DCM cohorts


The table below lists the 7 rare (MAF<0.0001 in ExAC) protein-altering TCAP variants identified in a cohort of 590 DCM patients. When this rare variant frequency of 0.01186 is compared with a background population rate of 0.00242, there is a statistically significant case excess of 0.00944 (p=0.0008), which suggests that approximately 6 of these variants may be pathogenic.
