GLA variants in HCM cohorts


The table below lists the 10 rare (MAF<0.0001 in ExAC) protein-altering GLA variants identified in a cohort of 2165 HCM patients. When this rare variant frequency of 0.00462 is compared with a background population rate of 0.00100, there is a statistically significant case excess of 0.00362 (p<0.0001), which suggests that approximately 8 of these variants may be pathogenic.
