Table 3.

A). Names of white matter tracts that were disrupted in the largest diffusion-weighted imaging study to date of 22q11DS-psychosis+ vs. 22q11DS-psychosis- (75) B). The known anatomical region connected by each white matter tract. C). Direction of the effects in 22q11DS-psychosis+ vs. 22q11DS-psychosis- study and type of diffusivity measures altered. D). Direction of effects for largest diffusion-weighted imaging study to date of idiopathic schizophrenia vs. healthy controls and type of diffusivity measures altered (159).
