Rare SNVs (those observed only once in the 686 parents in this study) are classified based on the children to whom they were transmitted: only to the proband (“proband”); only to the unaffected sibling (“sibling”); to both children (“proband & sibling”) or to “neither” child.

(A) We classified rare variants by the gene they target. The segregation of several target groups of rare nonsense and splice site variants is indicated. The “FMRP-associated” group is all variants that occur within the coding region of FMRP-associated genes; “CNV candidates” are defined as in Table 5; “de novo LGD” are the variants that occur in the 59 genes affected by de novo LGD in probands from this study; “all of the above” represents the variants in at least one of the previous three target sets; and “all well-annotated” are variants that target well-annotated CCDS genes (Pruitt et al., 2009).

(B) Segregation of rare missense variants categorized as in (A).

(C) Compound heterozygosity in probands and unaffected siblings. A compound heterozygote was defined as an instance in which a gene was affected by two different rare variants—one from the mother and one from the father—in the same child. Genes are classified as in (A) and (B).
