GLA variants in HCM cohorts


The table below lists the 27 rare (MAF<0.0001 in ExAC) protein-altering GLA variants identified in a cohort of 3700 HCM patients (1535 patients from OMGL, 2165 patients from LMM). When this rare variant frequency of 0.00730 is compared with a background population rate of 0.00100, there is a statistically significant case excess of 0.00630 (p<0.0001), which suggests that approximately 23 of these variants may be pathogenic.
