The table below lists the 33 rare (MAF<0.0001 in ExAC) non-truncating MYL2 variants identified in a cohort of 2650 HCM patients. When this rare variant frequency of 0.01245 is compared with a background population rate of 0.00154, there is a statistically significant case excess of 0.01091 (p<0.0001), which suggests that approximately 29 of these variants may be pathogenic.
