Rare coding variants identified in the probands and assessment of cosegregation in the family. Section 1; pathogenic variants, section 2; variants of uncertain significance and section 3; variants unlikely to be disease-causing. Genomic change reported using human reference genome hg19. ‘–’ indicates data not available, n/a indicates not applicable. gnomAD popmax minor allele frequency represents highest frequency observed in V.2.1.1 data release. Variant predicted functional effects using CADD version 1.639 40 with PHRED score given; Polyphen-241 ‘PrD’ probably damaging, ‘PsD’ possibly damaging, ‘B’ benign, SIFT42 ‘D’ damaging, ‘T’ tolerated, PROVEAN43 ‘D’ damaging, ‘N’ neutral, ‘–’ scoring unavailable. Seg; cosegregation in the family either Yes, No, de novo?, RP? if possible reduced penetrance, or ‘n/a’ singleton and not applicable. Variant interpretation based on the ACMG-AMP guidelines.15

*Reported alternate amino acid change at same location.

†1/1 homozygous observation of variant in proband.

ACMG, American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics; B, benign; LP, likely pathogenic; n/a, not available; P, pathogenic; VUS, variant of uncertain significance.
