In 6 of the 15 mutant exomes sequenced, candidate mutations in protein coding sequence or splice sites were either not found or could not be validated in additional samples; for three of these, however, candidate mutations in regions annotated at UTRs were identified. ^aCompared to dbSNP. ^b> 0.95 for homozygous samples, > 0.2 for heterozygous samples. ^ccompared to unrelated exome data sets.
