RVTT was applied to 3 gene sets: the complement system, the coagulation system, and the glycolysis pathway. For each gene set, ΔP, synonymous, and neutral missense variants were tested. Qualifying low-frequency variants were selected using 3 settings: (1) fixed threshold gnomAD MAF <0.05, (2) variable threshold with no cutoff, and (3) variable threshold with MAF cutoff = 0.05. Significant enrichment of low-frequency ΔP complement variants in PF patients when compared with control patients was observed under all 3 settings.

P values <.05 are in bold type.
