  • The numbers of cases and controls are the numbers of people who have the phenotype. The ‘Expected number of CNVs in cases’ is extrapolated from their frequencies in the controls. Uncorrected p-values and Benjamini-Hochberg FDR corrected p-values for 3132 tests (p-value B-H FDR) are also shown. OR and 95% CI of the OR are produced by Firth’s logistic regression analysis (Methods section). More details are given in online supplementary tables 6 and 7. ‘Known finding’ refers to known medical consequences, listed in online supplementary table 1, or to phenotypes that appear a consequence of the known ones (marked as ‘secondary’ in the table, as discussed below).

  • FDR, false discovery rate.
