Reassessment of Mendelian gene pathogenicity using 7,855 cardiomyopathy cases and 60,706 reference samples

Roddy Walsh, Kate Thomson, James S Ware, Birgit H Funke, Jessica Woodley, Karen J McGuire, Francesco Mazzarotto, Edward Blair, Anneke Seller, Jenny C Taylor, Eric V Minikel, Exome Aggregation Consortium, Daniel G MacArthur, Martin Farrall, Stuart A Cook, Hugh C Watkins

The paper reassesses the pathogenicity of Mendelian genes by comparing rare variation frequencies between cardiomyopathy cases and large reference datasets, identifying false positives and overly conservative variant assessments.
