Table 1.

Phenotypes of neuropsychiatric CNVs. These CNVs were selected on the basis of being robustly associated with neuropsychiatric conditions, and for being frequently diagnosed in medical genetic settings [29••,55]. It should be highlighted that the phenotypes listed below are not exhaustive, but highlight important features and link to useful references for clinicians and researchers
