Median CNV size
 Sw1 181.3 178.0
 Sw2–4 182.2 188.2
 Sw5–6 183.1 190.7
 Total sample 182.7 188.8

Mean number of CNVs per subject
 Sw1 1.058 0.845
 Sw2–4 1.236 1.209
 Sw5–6 0.758 0.684
 Total sample 0.958 0.879

After quality control, the combined sample size is 10,636, where Sw1=413 (3.9%, Affymetrix 5.0), Sw2–4=3,984 (37.5%, Affymetrix 6.0), and Sw5–6=6,239 (58.7%, Illumina OmniExpress). Values in parentheses are inter-quartile ranges. Cases had significantly more males (p < 0.0001) and were significantly younger (p < 0.0001) than controls although these differences were not of large magnitude. The higher median age in controls is in the direction of greater confidence in control classification (i.e., controls had greater time at risk for psychiatric hospitalization). The mean number of >500Kb CNVs and of singleton CNVs are reported in Table S8.
