Associations between known schizophrenia-associated CNVs and CNV burden with cognitive performance. For the schizophrenia-associated CNV analysis digit span was not examined as fewer than ten CNV carriers had available data. CNV burden was measured as number of genes affected by CNVs larger than >200 kb, with <1% frequency. All analyses are adjusted for the covariates age, sex, clinical group, centre and genetic relatedness (kinship matrix).
