  1. All variants with a MAF >0.001 were discarded. Setting for each software threshold is described in the “Material and methods” section
  2. p values for VAAST and Phevor were not corrected since they were used as thresholds according to the user’s guide
  3. F family controls exome dataset, T-F in-house controls exome dataset without family control dataset, T in-house and family control datasets
