  1. Filter 1: homozygous nonsense, stop-loss, canonical splice-sites, indel and missense variants, coverage ≥ 8X, Q Phred score ≥ 30, global Minor Allele Frequency (MAF) ≤ 1%
  2. Filter 2: MAF ≤ 1% in the ExAC ethnic subgroup fitting with the proband’s ethnicity
  3. Filter 3: exclusion of missense variants predicted as benign by > 1/3 in-silico software (or by ≥ ½ if prediction was available for two software only)
