TABLE 2.

Maximum credible population frequencies and maximum tolerated ExAC allele counts for variants causative of exemplar inherited cardiac conditions, assuming a penetrance of 0.5 throughout.

Disease Maximum allelic contribution Prevalence Penetrance* Maximum population frequency Maximum tolerated ExAC allele count
Marfan 0.015 1/3000 0.5 5.0x10-6 2
Noonan 0.10 1/1000 0.5 1.0x10-4 18
CPVT 0.10 1/10,000 0.5 1.0x10-5 3
Classic Ehlers-Danlos 0.40 1/20,000 0.5 2.0x10-5 5

CPVT - catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia; FH - familial hypercholesterolaemia. Prevalence estimates (taken as the highest value reported) were obtained from: Marfan32, Noonan18, CPVT19 and classical Ehlers-Danlos20.
