  1. The NCBI Clinvar database was used to identify these previously known disease causing mutations. Two heart function associated disorders are implicated, which would seem to coincide with the relatively high incidence of heart diseases in Bangladesh. The most heavily implicated disease is Pseudonanthoma elasticum, for which the Bangladeshi individuals harbored 5 known pathogenic variants
