  1. Displayed are the cumulative frequency of rare variants (rare defined by ExAC filtering allele frequency < 4 × 10−5 [22]), Fisher’s exact test p values and estimates of odds ratio and etiological fraction (with 95% confidence intervals) for non-truncating and truncating variants in HCM genes. The etiological fraction can be interpreted as an estimate of the probability that a rare variant, found in an individual with HCM, is causative. This suggests that the majority of variants are pathogenic when detected in cases, and for some genes, the probability that an individual variant is pathogenic is > 0.9, before considering variant-specific segregation of functional data. Only variant classes with a significant excess of variants in case cohorts over ExAC are displayed
