  • The two leftmost columns reflect percentage differences between CNV carriers and controls without normalization for ICV. Differences reaching significance (p < 0.05) are displayed in boldface type to help visualize general patterns. The two rightmost columns display the same data with differences normalized for ICV. Note that except for the thalamus and a few other values, the differences are minimal after normalization by ICV.
