Observed rates are de novo variants observed per base pair per generation in the sequenced exome; statistical comparison is between the observed rate and our OCD cohort rate of 2.51 × 10-8 using a two-tailed exact rate ratio test of two Poisson counts; 95% confidence interval is the observed rate/OCD cohort rate.
