TNNI3 truncating variants in HCM cohorts


The table below lists the 6 rare (MAF<0.0001 in ExAC) truncating TNNI3 variants identified in a cohort of 6047 HCM patients (3135 patients from OMGL, 2912 patients from LMM). When this rare variant frequency of 0.00099 is compared with a background population rate of 0.00042, there is a case excess of 0.00057, although this is not statistically significant for truncating TNNI3 variants in HCM (p=0.0571).
