The oligogenic inheritance test GCOD detects risk genes and their interactions in congenital heart defects

Table 1.

GCOD counts of significantly overtransmitted oligogenic pairs and genes, categorized by membership to the list of 744 curated human and mouse CHD genes (Richter et al. 2020)

Tier Disease status No. of GCOD oligogenic pairs at FDR ≤ 0.01 No. of unique genes in oligogenic pairs (no. of known CHD genes) No. of (% of cohort) that carry at least one pair No. of single TDT genes at raw P ≤ 0.01 (no. of known CHD genes)
Strict Proband 71 132 (23) 134 (4.0%) 31 (6)
Pseudosibling 19 35 (3) 42 (1.2%) 4 (0)
Base Proband 59 109 (20) 110 (3.3%) 31 (6)
Pseudosibling 22 40 (3) 46 (1.4%) 3 (0)
CADD-based Proband 94 165 (26) 163 (4.8%) 47 (5)
Pseudosibling 67 124 (12) 123 (3.6%) 4 (0)
Composite Proband 160 270 (41) 266 (7.9%) 77 (9)
Pseudosibling 94 165 (15) 159 (4.7%) 8 (0)
  • Note that GCOD results use a cutoff of FDR ≤ 0.01; because no genes reached significance at that level using the rare variant TDT analysis, we report results at the level of unadjusted P-value ≤ 0.01 (McNemar's test).
