TMEM43 truncating variants in ARVC cohorts


The table below lists the 0 rare (MAF<0.0001 in ExAC) truncating TMEM43 variants identified in a cohort of 94 ARVC patients. As the background population rate of rare truncating TMEM43 variants (0.00040) is greater than this case frequency (0.00000), there is no excess of variants in this ARVC patient cohort, suggesting that truncating TMEM43 variants are not causative for ARVC.
