Fig. 1: ADHD risk across rare-variant categories and mean load.

From: Rare genetic variants confer a high risk of ADHD and implicate neuronal biology

Fig. 1

a,Odds ratio (OR) of rPTVs, rSevereDMVs, rModerateDMVs and rare synonymous variants (rSYNs) in all genes (marked in yellow) and in constrained genes (pLI ≥ 0.9; marked in red) in individuals with ADHD (n = 8,895) and in control individuals (n = 9,001). Dots represent OR point estimates, and error bars indicate the corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Owing to the similar effect sizes of rPTVs and rSevereDMVs in constrained genes (pLI ≥ 0.9) these variants were grouped into class I variants, and rModerateDMVs were categorized as class II variants. Note: the count of rSYNs in each individual is used as a covariate in the analyses, and thus it is not possible to test for differences in rSYN load across all autosomal genes. b, Number of class I variants (rPTVs + rSevereDMVs) in constrained genes (pLI ≥ 0.9) per person on average. ADHD, individuals diagnosed with ADHD regardless of any comorbidities; ADHDwoID, individuals diagnosed with ADHD but not ID; ADHDwID, individuals diagnosed with both ADHD and ID. ORs and two-sided P values were calculated using logistic regression in a,b.
