Abstract
Genetic variants predicted to seriously disrupt the function of human protein-coding genes-so-called loss-of-function (LOF) variants-have traditionally been viewed in the context of severe Mendelian disease. However, recent large-scale sequencing and genotyping projects have revealed a surprisingly …
