Abstract:
Background - The clinical significance of variants in genes associated with inherited
cardiomyopathies can be difficult to determine due to uncertainty regarding population genetic
variation and a surprising amount of tolerance of the genome even to loss of function variants.
We hypothesized that genes associated with cardiomyopathy might be particularly resistant to
the accumulation of genetic variation.
Methods and Results - We analyzed the rates of single nucleotide genetic variation in all known
genes from the exomes of >5,000 individuals from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood

Conclusions - Genes associated with cardiomyopathy carry very low rates of population
variation. The existence in population data of variants with strong evidence for pathogenicity
suggests that even for Mendelian disease genetics, a probabilistic weighting of multiple variants
may be preferred over the ‘single gene’ causality model.

Background
New DNA sequencing technologies are poised to transform the genetic evaluation of patients.
Soon the availability of genetic information will no longer be a barrier to our understanding of
the genetic basis of disease. Rather it will be our ability to understand and interpret the data that
will be paramount. The interpretation of clinical genetic testing is a complex process that
requires an appreciation of factors establishing causality as well as a detailed understanding of
the ‘tolerated’ genetic variation present in human genomes of different ethnicities. Until recently,

however, can be variable. Evidence for or against a variant’s role is assembled from previous
reports in the literature, co-segregation, the likelihood that the variant disrupts the reading frame
(weighted more towards nonsense variants, small insertion-deletion variants, or splice site
variants) and algorithmic predictions based on conservation, constraint, or protein motif
disruption. Despite such resources, a large number of variants found through clinical genetic
testing remain of unclear significance. Greatly lacking is knowledge of the population genetic
variation in these and other genes, which is needed for the interpretation of variants not just in
Mendelian diseases, but also for common disease risk assessment8,9 and pharmacogenomics.10-12

Methods
NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project Data
Data from the NHLBI ESP5400 dataset was accessed on December 12th, 2011 and downloaded
for analysis. This data is the accumulation of called variants from the exomes of 5,379
individuals from multiple cohorts of the ESP, including the Women’s Health Initiative,
Framingham Heart Study, Jackson Heart Study, Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis,
Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities, Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults,
4
DOI: 10.1161/CIRCGENETICS.112.963421
Cardiovascular Health Study, Genomic Research on Asthma in the African Diaspora, Lung
Health Study, Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension population, Acute Lung Injury cohort, and the
Cystic Fibrosis cohort. The primary purpose of the ESP is to sequence the exomes of a large
number of individuals selected for the extremes of primarily complex traits from these cohorts.
While these exomes may not represent a true sample of the general population, they do represent
a phenotyped cohort that is unlikely to be enriched for Mendelian disease, with the possible
exception of cystic fibrosis. Resulting SNV calls were filtered for depth and base call thresholds

Database of Genomic Variants
For evaluation of structural variation, the November 2010 data release from the Database of
Genomic Variants (http://projects.tcag.ca/variation), aligned to the hg19 version of the human
genome, was accessed. This includes data from 42 separate studies evaluating for structural
variation involving segments of DNA greater than 1kb, as well as smaller insertions/deletions
(indels). The data is collected from small individual genome and population level studies without
known enrichment for disease.
Gene Annotation
Gene annotation data was accessed from the Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man database16

(including alternate isoforms) were divided into subgroups by OMIM annotation and/or literature

ii) any other Mendelian disease, or iii) neither of the above. After accounting for alternate

variants, this number was then normalized for transcript length based on data from RefSeq. For
splice site variants, this number was normalized by number of known exons per transcript.
In order to evaluate the distribution of small indels (1-50 bp) which were notably absent
from the public release of the ESP5400 dataset, the subset of called indels from the 1000
Genomes Phase 1 March 2012 release was retrieved and annotated using ANNOVAR19 software
against the NCBI RefSeq database17 to determine the subset in coding regions of genes with any
disease association as above.

Curation of Known Variants
We manually curated a set of variants in MYH7, MYBPC3, and TNNT2 with strong evidence for
causing cardiomyopathy. This set comprised of missense variants seen in patients at the Stanford
Center for Inherited Cardiovascular Disease from September 2010 to December 2011 and
considered likely or very likely disease causing. To supplement this list, we selected variants
from a publicly available repository of sarcomeric variants20 with the highest number of
independent citations. These variants were then manually curated and any variants we considered

Structural Variation Analysis
Structural variants from DGV were grouped on the basis of Mendelian disease association. The
average number of structural variants per gene was computed. Due to the varying size of both
structural variants and the transcripts they affect, we normalized by evaluating only structural
variants affecting protein coding regions of genes and calculating the percent of each gene’s
coding region based on transcript length affected by a deletion in DGV.

test was used. While Fisher’s test does assume independence of events which may not
necessarily be true for the distribution of variants in a gene due to linkage disequilibrium, given
the overall rarity of most variants analyzed (almost all less than 1% minor allele frequency and
the majority being unique) it is unlikely that a rare variant in one exon significantly affects the
probability of a variant in another exon.
Results
Most Genetic Variation is Rare
Most variants in the population data were not shared between many individuals. Private variants,
those that were found only in one person, were abundant. Out of the 9,974 total variants called in

(91%) had minor allele frequencies less than 1%. Of these rare variants, 5,448 (60%) were
private. This predominance of rare variants was almost identical in other genes, whether or not
they were associated with Mendelian disease. Common variants (minor allele frequency > 5%)
comprised only 5% of all genetic variation in the coding regions of human genes.
We found many genes for which a large amount of genetic variation was not only
expected, but likely serves a critical purpose. Among Mendelian disease associated genes, the

Mendelian Disease Genes Exhibit Lower Rates of Genetic Variation
We found significantly lower levels of variation in genes associated with Mendelian disease as
compared to genes without a known association (Table 1). In general, this reduction was much
stronger for types of genetic variation that would be predicted to have more impact on the
resulting protein product, such as splice site or nonsense variants. Mendelian disease genes were
noted to have a 67.3% lower rate of nonsense variants as compared to genes without known
disease association (p=9.6x10-6). These were even more rare in cardiomyopathy associated genes
9
DOI: 10.1161/CIRCGENETICS.112.963421
(Figure 1), which exhibited a 98.7% lower nonsense variant rate as compared to non-disease
associated genes and a 96.1% lower rate as compared to the remaining Mendelian disease
associated genes (p=5.7 x 10-7). Similarly lower variant rates were seen for both missense and
splice site variants as well. Interestingly, this was reversed with respect to synonymous variation,
with cardiomyopathy specific genes having slightly higher rates of variation (116.4 variants per
megabase of coding region per chromosome in cardiomyopathy genes vs. 90.8 and 95.1 variants
per megabase of coding region per chromosome for non-OMIM and OMIM genes, respectively,

Nonsense variants were completely absent in the sarcomeric genes ACTC1, TNNT2, TNNI3,
MYL2, MYL3, and TPM1. While the nonsense variant in MYH7 has not been reported previously,
the nonsense variant found in MYBPC3 (p.Trp1214Ter) has been associated with hypertrophic
cardiomyopathy in one published report in an Asian Indian population27.
Among cardiomyopathy-associated genes, the gene with the greatest number of nonsense
variants in the ESP5400 exomes data was the very large gene titin (TTN), which has been
implicated in familial DCM. This may be largely due to its immense size, as the coding region of
titin consists of upwards of 100 kilobases. In total we noted 23 predicted nonsense variants in
10
DOI: 10.1161/CIRCGENETICS.112.963421
titin in the NHLBI exome data. The majority of these nonsense variants seemed to be distributed
evenly throughout the length of the gene, although there were two notable clusters of nonsense
variants near the 5’ end of the gene (Figure 2). This is in direct contrast to a recent report of a
high burden of variants in the A band of the titin protein (corresponding to a group of exons near
the 3’ end of the transcript) associated with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM)28. Both clusters of
nonsense variants in our analysis were in exons that are specific to the novex alternate splice
isoforms of titin, the first in the terminal exon (exon 46) of the novex-3 isoform (NM_133379)

Prediction of Pathogenicity of Missense Variants Remains Challenging
We collected 46 variants, 40 of which were missense, with particularly strong evidence of
causality from three genes most often found to be causal in HCM (MYBPC3, MYH7, and
TNNT2) (Supplemental Table 3). Given a large amount of ambiguity over the effects of
missense variants in the genome, we compared the missense variants from this pathogenic list to
missense variants from the NHLBI exome data within the same genes. These 40 pathogenic
missense variants were generally located in regions within these three genes that were notable for
11
DOI: 10.1161/CIRCGENETICS.112.963421
very low variant frequencies in the population data, suggesting that these are regions with vital
functions that do not tolerate high rates of variation (Figure 3).
Furthermore, 10/26 pathogenic missense variants in MYH7 and 6/10 of the pathogenic
missense variants in TNNT2 were found in exons that were notable for a complete absence of
non-synonymous likely benign variation (Supplemental Table 4). These exons in MYH7 (exons
6,7,9, 13, and 19 of NM_000257) and in TNNT2 (exon 10 of NM_000364) thus likely encode
critical functional domains in the resultant peptide. In support of this, the above noted exons in

Of note, 4 of the 46 variants with good evidence of pathogenicity were present in the
NHLBI exome data. The individual incidences of these variants were very low, with almost all
found in only 1 individual each, except for one variant in TNNT2, p.Arg278Cys that was found
in 6 individuals in the NHLBI exome cohort. No phenotype information was available to us for
these individuals. These variants were removed from the NHLBI ESP variant list for any further
analysis.
We used widely accepted variant classification algorithms to predict pathogenicity of
missense variants. We found the evolutionary constraint based algorithms GERP and PhastCons
12
DOI: 10.1161/CIRCGENETICS.112.963421
to be poorly predictive of variant pathogenicity in this data. Notably, GERP scores appeared on
the whole to be higher in the NHLBI ESP variant set (Figure 4), the opposite of what would be
expected. While PhastCons predicted scores of > 0.95 (max score of 1) for all the variants in our
curated causative variant list, the majority of presumably tolerated missense variants (67%) from
the NHLBI exome data set were also noted to have a similarly high PhastCons score, resulting in
a c-statistic for classification of 0.52, akin to no discriminatory power (Figure 5).
The use of algorithms based on amino acid substitution gave much better results. SIFT

disease genes, and 9 indels per 1,000 exons in cardiomyopathy genes. However the overall low
number of these types of variants in this data limited any further statistical analysis.
We then used data from DGV to query on a per gene basis the number of all structural
variants that have been reported as well as the overall extent of the coding region of genes that
are covered by known structural variants. We found that the total number, per gene, of all
structural variants and only structural variants affecting coding regions did not differ between

genes associated with Mendelian disease and those that are not (Table 2). However we did note
a 53% reduction of coding region covered by reported deletion type structural variants in genes
that are specifically associated with cardiomyopathy as compared to genes without Mendelian
disease association (p-value=0.02).

effective function such as the olfactory receptor loci, we found that population genetic variation,
especially variation expected to affect protein function, was rare in Mendelian disease associated
genes. We hypothesized that genes essential for cardiac function might be among the genes most
intolerant of variation. Not only was this the case, but the strength of these associations was also
found to be dependent on the severity of the predicted alteration of protein function, exemplified
by the extreme rarity of nonsense variants in cardiomyopathy-specific genes. These findings
extended to structural variants as well, specifically in regards to the percent of the coding
transcript that is involved in deletion type structural variants in individuals without disease.
One strength of our study is in the practical application to clinical genetic testing, which
relies on data from unaffected individuals to judge the likely pathogenicity of novel variants. As
14
DOI: 10.1161/CIRCGENETICS.112.963421
our understanding of human genetic variation has improved, it has become clear that even rare
genetic variation can be normal and well tolerated, representing a challenge in linking genotypes
to phenotypes. One recent study has estimated, using 1000 Genomes data, that the average
person has as many as 100 loss of function variants per genome2. This population level of
variation has implications for the interpretation of results of clinical genetic testing. However our
results indicate that this variation is not evenly distributed and genes for which associations with
Mendelian disease have been established have much lower levels of such variation, likely

Variants in these highly structured peptides with molecular motor functions that operate
constantly throughout life would be expected to be heavily selected against in the general
population. The finding of a slight increase in synonymous variants in cardiomyopathyassociated genes is unexpected. It is possible that this represents a decrease in codon use bias in
these genes relative to others, which may in turn reflect a decreased need of efficiency of
translation of these structural proteins, but why this may be the case is not evident.
One intriguing finding in cardiomyopathy genetics is the contrast between disease
causing variants found in MYBPC3 and those in MYH7, the two genes with the highest number
of HCM-causing variants. Indeed, the high rate of nonsense pathogenic variants found in
15
DOI: 10.1161/CIRCGENETICS.112.963421
MYBPC337 is in contrast with the almost universal missense nature of those found in MYH7. The
extreme rarity of nonsense variants in cardiomyopathy genes in the data presented here suggests
that a high probability for pathogenicity for such variants found in MYBPC3 in patients would be
appropriate. The absence of disease-causing nonsense variants in MYH7 is curious. It may be that
MYH7 haploinsufficiency may not be tolerated at all. We do note that predisposition of genes
towards one type of variation versus another is not uncommon given the poor correlation
between rates of different types of variation noted in our data, which may be driven by the

the genome that do not show conservation, they are unable to efficiently discriminate between
likely causative and non-causative variants. While evolutionary conservation at the nucleotide
base level appears to be a necessary characteristic of a pathogenic variant, it is not sufficient in
and of itself to classify a variant as causative. Algorithms using the predicted effects of the
resulting amino acid substitution showed much better classification potential although this may
in part reflect the use of cardiomyopathy causative variants as training data for these classifiers.
Our analysis also confirms recent evidence that the overwhelming majority of variation in
the human genome is rare (i.e. affecting < 1% of the population). Interestingly, more than half of
variants analyzed were private (found in only one person). In fact, taking all 8 commonly
16
DOI: 10.1161/CIRCGENETICS.112.963421
sequenced genes for HCM together (ACTC1, TNNT2, TNNI3, MYL2, MYL3, TPM1, MYH7,
MYBPC3), we found 159 private missense variants, 3 private splice site variants, and 2 private
nonsense variants for a total of 164 private variants that would have the potential to affect the
resulting protein. Assuming that none of these variants was found in the same person, this would
imply that 3% of a general population sample who were to be sequenced today would have
candidate variants not seen previously on a small HCM disease genetic testing panel. This
highlights the continued importance of co-segregation and other supporting data in deciding

testing is far from 100%. This is consistent with other recently published studies finding higher
than expected prevalence of genetic variants associated with other Mendelian cardiovascular
diseases such as familial DCM14 and long QT syndrome41, though the burden of evidence of
pathogenicity for variants in these studies was variable.
While it remains possible that some individuals within these cohorts may harbor
undiagnosed HCM given that phenotype data for these individuals is not publicly available, the
genetic prevalence rate would still be expected to be much lower than that observed in this data.
Based on this genetic variant prevalence data, estimates of the incidence of HCM would have to
be underestimated by a factor of at least 2 for our current models of HCM disease inheritance to
17
DOI: 10.1161/CIRCGENETICS.112.963421
be true. Given that these estimates of HCM disease prevalence were based on multi-modality
screening in diverse populations, it seems likely that some proportion of the variants thought to
be causal of HCM under a single gene model cannot be. Alternatively, we posit that the idea of a
single gene disorder with variable penetrance is likely an artifact of a limited genomic window,
and that what has commonly been perceived as a single gene disorder may in fact be the result of
a combination of multiple genetic variants each contributing a portion of the variance, with
variants contributing differently in different individuals. Just as some have suggested that a

cardiomyopathy. While the accumulated set of variants from these 5,379 individuals is available,
individual exomes cannot be reconstructed so it is not possible to determine which variants may
be shared on the same chromosome. Also the family structure of the individuals within the
NHLBI ESP data was also unknown. It is thus possible that a rare variant could be
overrepresented if many members of the same family were sequenced.
Conclusion
In conclusion, using publicly available exome-wide sequencing data from thousands of
individuals, we found that genes associated with Mendelian diseases show much lower rates of
protein-altering genetic variation, including missense, nonsense, and splice-site variation, with an
18
DOI: 10.1161/CIRCGENETICS.112.963421
extreme intolerance of variation noted specifically in cardiomyopathy-associated genes.
Cardiomyopathy-associated genes specifically showed intolerance to structural variation as well.
Nonsense variants in genes that have been recurrently linked to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
were extremely rare, and our results suggest that such variants in these genes found on clinical
testing have a very high likelihood of being pathogenic. In contrast, novel missense variants were
present in at least 3% of individuals, and thus the careful interpretation of missense variants
found on clinical genetic testing is critical. Current in silico classification schemes for predicting
