* This highlights the relative frequency of the variant in the ExAC populations - Non-Finnish European, African, East Asian, South Asian, American and Finnish. Higher frequencies are denoted by darker shades of green, variants absent in a population are coloured light gray.

Genomic coordinates refer to the GRCh37 release of the human genome.
