Not calculated (NC) because significant heterogeneity among studies was detected by the Breslow-Day Tarone test. The partial odds ratios [95%CI] for the deletion in schizophrenia were 0.69 [0.1, 4.9], 0.3 [0.05, 2.2], 14.6 [1.9, 111.2], and 0.3 [0.03, 3.7] and partial odds ratios for the deletion in bipolar disorder were 0.3[0.03,3.3], 0.55[0.05,6.7], 25[5.4,117] in this study, the GAIN study and the Weiss et al. studies, respectively.

Data from four studies reporting microduplications and microdeletions of 16p11.2 in schizophrenia, autism and/or bipolar disorder were combined with data from the Primary Sample to assess the relative strength of the association of each variant with each disorder. Associations were calculated using the Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel exact test, using source as a stratifying variable. Combined odds ratio estimates and confidence intervals were calculated from logistic regression with disease group and source (study) as factors.
