  1. Conditions reported by parents included DDX3X-related neurodevelopmental disorder, DYNC1H1-related neurodevelopmental disorder, Coffin Siris syndrome, Sotos syndrome, Tatton-Brown-Rahman syndrome, PMM2-CDG, Leri-Weill dyschondrosteosis, Trisomy 9p and agenesis of corpus callosum
  2. aParticipant ID starts from COIN3 as ID was assigned when interviews were scheduled not after completion (see Fig. 1 for recruitment procedure). COIN1 and COIN2 did not attend their interviews
  3. bParent-reported level of disability. Each parent rated their perception of their child’s disability as none, mild, moderate or severe/profound
  4. cCondition type was assigned with assistance from a clinical geneticist (author KB) as either a single gene disorder (Single Nucleotide Variant [SNV]), multi-gene disorder (Copy number variant [CNV] or multiple CNV), other genetic disorder (mitochondrial or chromosomal, including sex chromosome aneuploidy), or descriptive disorder (included those that are phenotypic)
