Twenty-three high confidence CNVs (C-score ≥8 and EStDev ≤ 0.1) and 6 borderline CNVs were tested despite over half (15/29) not having exact MLPA probes on the exon of interest (see probe distance to exon). High CNV genes per sample, exon size <50 bp, or mappability <0.8 may be factors that account for some of the negative and inconclusive cases (see values in bold). For candidates with C-score >8 and having CNV genes per sample <3, MLPA tests confirmed 90.9% (10/11) of single-exon CNVs.
