Phenotypic comparison between patients with NSD1 point mutations and those with deletions involving NSD1

MutationDeletionp value
    The denominators indicate the number of patients examined for the presence or absence of each feature, and the numerators represent the number of patients assessed to be positive for that feature. Thus, the differences between the denominators and numerators denote the numbers of patients evaluated to be negative for that feature.
