a

Indicates that these disorders (or some of their subtypes) were not evaluated in previous studies.

b

Indicates cohorts with no evidence of a reproducible episignature; this is potentially due to small sample size. A possibility of an episignature is not completely ruled out, and reanalysis using larger sample sizes is warranted.

c

The OMIM database, at the time of this study, has indicated that subjects with KMT2C mutations may be said to have “Kleefstra 2” syndrome. The DNA methylation signature found in Kleefstra 1 (caused by EHMT1), however, is completely absent in these subjects. It is acknowledged that these subjects have a distinct phenotype from Kleefstra syndrome and a name change is currently in process with OMIM. The numbers in the testing and training cohort columns indicate the sample counts available for each condition in each category. For cohorts with negative findings in the initial assessment, we did not further split the data into testing and training, and thus, the values in the testing column are indicated with N/A (not applicable).
