Rare CNVs in samples of European ancestry were defined as ≥30 kb in size and present in the total sample set at a frequency < 1%. Gene coordinates were defined by the RefSeq boundaries plus a 10 kb region on either side. All genomic analyses used UCSC Genome Browser hg18. Significant differences (p ≤ 0.05) are indicated.

a

The baseline gene rate (control) is defined as the average number of genes intersected by CNVs per control subject.

b

Genome-wide p values were estimated in 100,000 permutations (one sided) and additionally corrected (pcorr) for global case-control differences in CNV rate and size. Analyses were further stratified according to CNV type (deletions or duplications) and size.
