Identification of a novel titin-cap/telethonin mutation in a Portuguese family with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
2020, Revista Portuguesa de CardiologiaCitation Excerpt :As shown by several studies, TCAP mutations identified in cardiomyopathy patients are distributed over the whole gene/protein10,31,33–38 (Figure 2A) and the differentiation between true pathogenic mutations and benign polymorphisms is challenging. One example is the in-frame deletion p.Glu13del initially described by Bos et al. as pathogenic,31 which we and many others have shown is benign because of its frequency.14,39 This was subsequently confirmed by a now publicly available resource, the ExAC database, showing a MAF of 0.00095 for this variant (115 found alleles out of 95 905 alleles analyzed in total).
