a

An additional 15 de novo variants were seen in the probands of 25 trio families; all were missense and 14 were brain-expressed.

b

The p-values compare the number of variants between probands and siblings using a two-tailed binomial exact test (Supplementary Information).

c

The odds ratio calculates the proportion of variants in a specific category to silent variants and then compares these ratios in probands versus siblings.

d

The sum of silent and non-synonymous variants is 126, however one nonsense and two silent de novo variants were indentified in KANK1 in a single sibling, suggesting a single gene conversion event. This event contributed a maximum count of one to any analysis.
