Fig. 4. Copy Number Variants (CNVs) conferring risks for autism and schizophrenia and their IQ-adjusted impairing effect on functioning (GAF) in healthy carriers.

Fig. 4

A presents the CNVs’ pooled IQ-adjusted impairing effect on functioning relative to their Z standardized Odds Ratio (OR) of risk for autism and schizophrenia. The CNVs’ impairing effects are presented along a logarithmic scale such that negative values represent smaller effects and positive values represent larger effects. Spikes are visualization aids to help identify the coordinates of the CNVs’ ORs within the 3-D space. The shaded area highlights the balance axis where the Z standardized ORs of risk for autism and schizophrenia are relatively equivalent. B is a contour plot of the regression estimating the association of the standardized CNVs’ risk ORs for autism and schizophrenia, and their interaction with the CNVs’ impairing effect on functioning, weighted by their frequency within the sample, and with their OR of risk for developmental delay, as a covariate (see Supplementary Table S7 for details). The contour lines range from low impairing (green) to high impairing (red) effects.
