Table 2 Genes not in the consensus or discordant lists that passed FDR < 5% in the main gene burden analysis, which was based on 29,745 probands without inferred cross-continental admixture (referred to as ‘all individuals’ in the column header). P values of <7.2 × 10−7 pass Bonferroni correction. We only show the result for the most significant combination of consequence classes per gene. Additionally, we show the P value obtained by restricting the analysis to 17,029 undiagnosed probands without inferred cross-continental admixture. Both sets of P values are from a one-sided Poisson test. The Supplementary Data File shows results for all combinations of consequence classes. The Supplementary Note gives more detail on these genes, including on the putative alternative partial diagnosis in one of the ATAD2B cases that led to this individual being dropped from the analysis of undiagnosed cases
