Summary allele counts and carrier frequencies are shown. Only SNVs and indels with minor allele frequency less than 1% were considered in burden analysis. “Deleterious (PolyPhen)” as defined by nonsense, splice-site, indel frameshift, and missense annotated as “possibly damaging” or “probably damaging” by PolyPhen-2 HumDiv software; “Deleterious (Broad)” as defined by nonsense, splice-site, indel frameshift, and missense annotated as deleterious by at least one of the five protein prediction algorithms of LRT score, MutationTaster, PolyPhen-2 HumDiv, PolyPhen-2 HumVar and SIFT; “Deleterious (Strict)” as defined by nonsense, splice-site, indel frameshift, and missense annotated as deleterious by all five protein prediction algorithms; Disruptive defined as nonsense, splice-site or indel frameshift; T1: Alleles with SNVs or indels with minor allele frequency less than 1%; % freq: percentage of cases or controls carrying a T1 allele; OR: odds ratio.
