Flowchart explaining multiple filtering steps to select LoF variants with assumed recessive inheritance pattern. Functional annotation was performed with transcripts of RefSeq and UCSC databases. MAF annotations were based on 1000 Genomes project, Exome variant Server, and the ExAC database. Seventeen genes harbored homozygous variants causing stopgain or loss and one gene contained a homozygous splicing variant. For the putative compound heterozygous genes, six genes were selected based on the presence of two LoF variants, and three genes were based on the presence of one LoF variant and one missense variant (predicted to belong to the 1% most harmful variants of the genome)
