Exome sequencing and genome-wide copy number variant mapping reveal novel associations with sensorineural hereditary hearing loss

Table 2 CNV association study samples

Phenotype	Total	Gender		Ethnicity
Phenotype	Total	Female	Male	Caucasian	Mexican	East Asian	Native American	African American	African American-Caucasian	Caucasian-East Asian	Middle Eastern
Affected	150	65	85	44	59	27	6	4	6	4	0
Unaffected	157	79	78	132	16	5	0	2	0	2	1

Affected individuals were recruited at Stanford University under IRB approval. Unaffected individuals matched for sex, age, and ethnicity were collected under IRB approval at Stanford University (n = 31), Mount Sinai University (n = 88) and Yale University (n = 38) using identical selection criteria. Ethnicity was determined using Principal Components Analysis with the Human Genome Diversity Panel.
