Number of Variants Identified in Exome Sequencing Data of Patient A-3 and Filtering on the Basis of Genotyping Data
Total | Nonsynonymous Heterozygous Variants Not in 1000 Genomes | Nonsynonymous Homozygous Variants Not in 1000 Genomes | Nonsense/Splice Site/Frameshifting Indel Heterozygous Variants Not in 1000 Genomes | Nonsense/Splice Site/Frameshifting Indel Homozygous Variants Not in 1000 Genomes | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Full exome | 16,649 | 329 | 42 | 80 | 37 |
Within segments where both parental haplotypes are shared with affected sibling | 2,914 | 69 | 12 | 26 | 10 |
Within regions of homozygosity | 577 | 2 | 6 | 0 | 4 |
Within regions of homozygosity shared with affected sibling | 161 | 2 | 2a | 0 | 1 |
A threshold of 5 cM was used for segments where both parental haplotypes are shared in the two affected siblings. Regions of homozygosity were considered significant if larger than 3 cM. The 20100804 sequence and alignment release of the 1000 genomes project was used (628 individuals).
These two variants (p.Glu180Val in ARMC9 [rs1626451] and p.Arg302His in GEN1) cannot be fully excluded, but on the basis of physiological relevance, the loss-of-function KCNJ13 change is much more likely disease causing.
