Residual Variation Intolerance Score (RVIS)

RVIS - NHLBI-ESP6500 data set

based upon allele frequency data

Negative to Positive

RVIS < 0 - intolerant

RVIS > 0 - tolerant

RVIS - ExAC data set

RVIS - local data set

pLI score

Developed by ExAC Consortium for Loss-of-Function (LoF) mutations

 

pLI ≥ 0.9 - highly LoF-intolerant

pLI ≤ 0.1 - LoF tolerant
