This table provides a summary of clinical features of affected individuals from families in whom MYH3 mutations causing DA8 were identified and one family in whom no mutation was identified. Clinical characteristics listed in the table are primarily features that delineate DA8. cDNA positions in MYH3 (GenBank: NM_002470.3) are provided as named by the HGVS MutNomen web tool. Abbreviations are as follows: +, presence of a finding; −, absence of a finding; ND, no data; NA, not applicable; GERP, genomic evolutionary rate profiling; CADD, combined annotation-dependent depletion; VSD, ventricular septal defect.
