Fifteen studies from the MRC Centre for Neuropsychiatric Genetics and Genomics at Cardiff University (https://www.cardiff.ac.uk/mrc-centre-neuropsychiatric-genetics-genomics) were included in this project. A summary of the studies can be found in Table 1. Each study had its own approved research ethics, and ethical approval for the curation and development of DRAGON-Data was obtained from Cardiff University's School of Medicine Research Ethics Committee (approval reference 19/72). The studies included participants who were adults with psychiatric disorders, children (defined as up to age 18 years) with neurodevelopmental disorders, children of parents with psychiatric disorders and both children and adult carriers of rare neurodevelopmental risk copy number variants (ND-CNVs).
