Comparison of overlapping CNVs identified by Conrad et al. (2006) and McCarroll et al. (2006). Conrad et al. (2006) identified a total of 586 deletions based on deviations from expected Mendelian inheritance patterns. McCarroll et al. (2006) identified deviations from Mendelian expectations in addition to null genotypes and deviations from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium to identify a total of 541 deletions. When overlapping data were compared: (1) 139 deletions were identified only by Mendelian inheritance inconsistency in both studies, (2) 62 deletions were identified by Mendelian inheritance inconsistency and null genotypes by McCarroll et al. (2006) and by Mendelian inheritance inconsistency by Conrad et al. (2006), and (3) four deletions were detected only by null genotypes by McCarroll et al. (2006) but by Mendelian inheritance inconsistency by Conrad et al. (2006).
