Copy number analysis exclusions were as follows: median absolute pairwise difference (MAPD) quality control (QC) ≥0.35, number of copy number polymorphism (CNP) segments ≥250, 1 subject with a status change to his/her consent, and sex tracking QC. Congenital heart disease (CHD) cases were reduced to a final n = 945 after inclusion and exclusion criteria were met.
