Table 1. Summary results for primary hypotheses.

Hypotheses are grouped into four broad categories (a-d). Each is comprised of sub-tests from which we derive global evidence for the broad category (see Supplementary Text). For category a) the broad p-value was generated using Fisher’s exact method on the missense, silent, and loss-of-function (LoF) mutation counts. P-values for category b) were generated using Fisher’s combined probability test to combine the sub-tests. For c) and d) we combined all genes from each sub-test into a single geneset and evaluated enrichment using dnenrich (see main and Supplementary Text). For categories b - d, we separately evaluated two classes of mutation, nonsynonymous (NS) and LoF, making 7 tests in total. Corrected p-values for the broad categories are adjusted by Bonferroni correction for 7 tests. P-values <0.05 (corrected for broad category tests, uncorrected for sub-tests) in bold.
