Pediatric probands were younger than 18 years of age at recruitment, and adult probands were 18 years of age or older at recruitment. IQR denotes interquartile range.

Ancestry was inferred on the basis of a random forest model trained on principal component analysis of the five super populations described for the 1000 Genomes Project.
