Abstract

This study examines 2 gene-level metrics of variation constraint against protein-truncating variants—probability of loss-of-function intolerance and loss-of-function observed/expected upper bound fraction—and their association with the psychiatric consequences of both recurrent and nonrecurrent gene deletions.
