DNMs, de novo mutations; nsCL/P, non-syndromic cleft lip with/without cleft palate; NCR, non-cleft reference cohort; LoF, loss of function.
Exonic DNMs based on GENCODE Basic gene annotation version33.hg19, including non-coding parts of gene sequences (e.g., 3′/5′ UTRs).
Effect combinations from Variant Effect Predictor output were reduced to classes (see Table S4 for grouped effect names). LoF DNMs include nonsense and frameshift DNMs.
In brackets: relative frequency of this type of DNM in the respective cohort.
