Table 2.

Prevalence of rare variants (minor allele frequency ≤0.2%) in the eight main sarcomere genes

Gene Number of cases Percentage of sarcomere-positive individuals (N=383) Percentage of the total cohort (N=874)
ACTC1 3 0.8 0.3
MYBPC3 191 49.9 21.9
MYH7 99 25.9 11.3
MYL2 6 1.6 0.7
MYL3 4 1.0 0.5
TNNI3 15 3.9 1.7
TNNT2 20 5.2 2.3
TPM1 8 2.1 0.9
Multiple 37 9.7 4.2
Total 383 100 43.8

The number and proportion of individuals for each individual gene excludes patients carrying more than one variant who are grouped under ‘multiple’.
