Table II. Complete phenotypic information for CHRNA7 CNV patients.

Three hundred and sixty three individuals with CHRNA7 CNVs were identified. Patients are listed by deletion or duplication and breakpoints. Number of individuals, including number affected and number with no reported phenotype is indicated in the appropriate box. Phenotypes only include those reported in more than two individuals, except for BP3-BP5 duplications due to the small number in the literature. Phenotypic data includes only individuals with reported phenotypes. Phenotypes are based on what was reported in the literature, but it is possible that unreported conditions may also be present in patients.
