One-sentence summary

Roughly 1 in 7 people who carry R479I are estimated to eventually be diagnosed with Brugada syndrome — low penetrance, though evidence is limited (0 carriers). The residue lies in a Mild_Hotspot region for BrS1 and a Non_Hotspot region for LQT3.

Executive summary

Sources used for interpretation

The BrS1 and LQT3 penetrance estimates combine observed carrier counts with phenotype-specific feature-based model starting points. Other rows summarize supporting annotations for interpretation; not every row is a direct input to the model.

Model starting point. The BrS1 model starts with 1.45 hypothetical affected and 8.55 hypothetical unaffected observations; the LQT3 model starts with 0.101 hypothetical affected and 4.9 hypothetical unaffected observations. Each then updates that starting point with the real carrier counts above. As observed carrier counts grow, these feature-based starting points have less influence.
