Table 2. Geneset analysis of secondary autism/ID candidate genesets.

Enrichment test empirical P-values for the secondary (autism/ID) geneset. As in Table 2, the top panel shows uncorrected P-values; tests significant after multiple test correction are in bold (i.e. all Pcorrected >0.05). Because no class of variant is significant after multiple test correction for the omnibus test (top panel), we applied and corrected for all 108 tests (9 conditions by 12 subsets) in the lower panel. The single category FMRP targets (Darnell et al.) mainly reflects disruptive and NSstrict singleton enrichment.
