MAF: Minor Allele Frequency. PPh2: Polyphen 2 Human Diversity based prediction. REVEL: Rare Exome Variant Ensemble Learner. MTR: Missense Tolerance Ratio score. pLoF: predicted loss-of-function variants. pLoF variants included stop-gain & stop-loss variants, frameshift insertions & deletions, and canonical splice-site variants. Functional variants included pLoF, in-frame insertions & deletions, and missense variants (the missense variants were filtered using PPh2, REVEL, and MTR predictions as indicated). MAF from gnomAD were based on the ‘genomes’ subset. The cut-offs for REVEL & MTR scores were based on Ref.8
