Carrier rates were estimated using the gnomAD database, including all null mutations, plus missense variants predicted to be deleterious by 7 of 7 prediction software, plus splicing defects located at intronic positions −3 and +3/+6 and predicted as disrupting by 3 of 3 algorithms (see Section 4). 1 Discrepancies in the number of alleles are due to slight differences in the number of individuals successfully sequenced for each specific region.
