TABLE. 2.

Summary of included studies. Patient, cohort, and test characteristics are summarized per phenotype category. When data were missing for one of these characteristics, this was not included in the table. When >50% of studies had a missing value, this was reported in the table, next to a summary of the values that were present. Diagnostic yield is presented in tested cohort and extrapolated to larger (clinical) cohort; in this N/A means not applicable because already entire clinical cohort is reported. Also, the percentage of diagnostic yield that is explained by CNVs is summarized. References are listed in Supplementary Table 3.
