a

Rare variants (minor allele frequency, ≤5 × 10−4) protein-damaging mutations compared between 24 MMD cases from Yale Center for Mendelian Genomics and gnomAD-TOPMed controls.

b

pLI is a gene-wide constraint metric that estimates the probability of being intolerant to loss-of-function mutations.

c

mis_Z is a gene-wide constraint metric that estimates the probability of being intolerant to missense mutations.

d

A 2-tailed Fisher exact test was used to evaluate the genetic association by comparing frequencies of rare alleles between Yale Center for Mendelian Genomics MMD European cases and non-Finnish gnomAD (without disease-enriched TOPMed samples) and Simons simplex collection controls. The multiple-testing cutoff was 0.017 (α = .05/3).
