CADD = Combined Annotation Dependent Depletion; Chr:BP (hg19) = the chromosome (chr) and base pair (BP) position of each variant, based on Genome Reference Consortium Human Build 37 (GRCh37/hg19); DANN = Deleterious Annotation of genetic variants using Neural Networks; dbSNP ID = SNP identifier; LOD = logarithm of the odds (for linkage); PolyPhen = polymorphism phenotyping, functional prediction of SNP impact on protein product; SNP = single nucleotide polymorphism.

*

Pathogenicity prediction is presented for missense variants using PolyPhen, the CADD Phred scaled score and DANN scores. A CADD Phred scaled score42 of 20 means that the variant is among the top 1% of deleterious variants in the human genome, and a score of 30 means that the variant is in the top 0.1%. For DANN,43 a score of 0.96 identifies 92.1% of pathogenic variations from ClinVar (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar) and 18.1% of false-positive benign variations; values greater than 0.98 predict protein-disrupting or -altering variants. Positive values for the per-family LOD score indicate a positive contribution to the linkage signal from each family carrying that variant.

Total number of alternative alleles observed across 117 sequenced individuals.

Genes not expressed in the brain (defined by reads per kilobase per million [RPKM] < 1 in developmental transcriptomics RNA sequencing data, representing 65% of mapped genes) are indicated.
