Table 2. Maximum credible population frequencies and maximum tolerated ExAC allele counts for variants causative of exemplar inherited cardiac conditions, assuming a penetrance of 0.5 throughout.

Disease Maximum allelic contribution Prevalence Penetrance Maximum population frequency Maximum tolerated ExAC allele count
Marfan 0.015 1/3,000 0.5 5.0 × 10−6 2
Noonan 0.10 1/1,000 0.5 1.0 × 10−4 18
CPVT 0.10 1/10,000 0.5 1.0 × 10−5 3
Classic Ehlers-Danlos 0.40 1/20,000 0.5 2.0 × 10−5 5

CPVT,catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia; ExAC, Exome Aggregation Consortium database.

Prevalence estimates (taken as the highest value reported) were obtained from Marfan,40 Noonan,18 CPVT,19 and classical Ehlers-Danlos.20
