The defects that were being looked for were large "copy number variants" (CNVs) - sections of chromosomes carrying perhaps a dozen genes either missing, or present as multiple copies.
Surprisingly, the females in the sample had more CNVs than the males, and despite both sexes in the study having neurodevelopmental disorders, the females were carrying a bigger "burden" of genetic damage.
