Obs, Observed genotypes; Exp, expected genotypes under hypothesis of HWE; Ratio O/E, ratio of observed and expected number of heterozygote carriers; p-HWE, p-value of χ2 test for HWE-departure; MAF refers to minor allele frequency as seen in the entire ExAC sample; in some superpopulations this “minor allele” may be the common allele.
