*Missense mutations categorised according to affected functional domain: (0), no change in overall charge of substituted amino acid at affected site; (+), change in overall charge of substituted amino acid at affected site.

†Death includes death, aborted cardiac death (resuscitated cardiac arrest or appropriate implantable cardioverter defibrillator shock), and cardiac transplantation.

Data for diagnosis, age at death, ECG Estes score, MLVWT, echo LVH score, LVEDD, and LA expressed as mean (SD).

Echo, echocardiographic; LA, left atrial diameter; LVEDD, left ventricular end diastolic diameter; MLVWT, maximum left ventricular wall thickness; NA, not applicable; NSRT, non-surgical septal reduction therapy.
