For each chromosome type, the correlation between phenotype and rChrX was calculated. Regressions were considered significant when P-values were <0.01 (in boldface type) to control for independent testing on five chromosome types. “+”indicates a positive correlation. When testing the effect of chromosome dosage on one of the two opposite phenotypes, individuals exhibiting that phenotype were compared to the wild-type group, and individuals exhibiting the opposite phenotype were excluded from the analysis.
