The following abbreviations are used: +, feature is present; −, feature is not present; NK, not known; , feature observed in over 70% of PTLS subjects with the common duplication.

a

E.g., stereotypical or repetitive motor mannerisms, impaired social interaction.

b

E.g., anxiety, withdrawal, aggression.

c

∼60% of PTLS subjects with the common duplication have >10 degrees of scoliosis on diagnostic imaging.

d

∼45% of PTLS subjects with the common duplication have either structural cardiovascular malformations and/or dilatation of the aortic root.

e

Fewer than 10% of PTLS subjects with the common duplication have hearing impairment or structural renal anomalies.

f

Structural CNS abnormalities have not been systematically evaluated by cranial imaging in our PTLS cohort.
