24 ABSTRACT
25 While rare pathogenic CNVs are associated with both neuronal and non-neuronal phenotypes,
26 functional studies evaluating these regions have focused on the molecular basis of neuronal
27 defects. We report a systematic functional analysis of non-neuronal phenotypes for 59 homologs
28 of genes within ten CNVs and 20 neurodevelopmental genes in Drosophila. Using wing-specific
29 knockdown of 136 RNA interference lines, we identify phenotypes in 72/79 homologs including
30 six lines with lethality and 21 lines with severe phenotypes. We find no correlation between
31 severity of these phenotypes and neuronal defects due to eye-specific knockdown. We observe
32 disruptions in cell proliferation and apoptosis for 23/27 homologs, and altered Wnt, Hedgehog
33 and Notch signaling for 9/14 homologs, including AATF/Aatf, PPP4C/Pp4-19C, and
34 KIF11/Klp61F, validated with differences in human tissue-specific expression and network
35 connectivity. Our findings suggest that multiple genes within each CNV differentially affect both
36 global and tissue-specific developmental processes, contributing to non-neuronal phenotypes of
37 CNV disorders.

40 INTRODUCTION
41 Rare copy-number variants (CNVs), or deletions and duplications in the genome, are associated
42 with neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism, intellectual disability (ID), and
43 schizophrenia1,2. While dosage alteration of CNV regions contribute predominantly to defects in
44 nervous system development, several CNV disorders also lead to early developmental features
45 involving other organ systems3,4, including cardiac defects5,6, kidney malformations7,
46 craniofacial features3, and skeletal abnormalities8. In fact, an overall survey of ten rare disease-
47 associated CNVs among individuals within the DECIPHER database9 showed a wide range of
48 non-neuronal phenotypes across multiple organ systems for each CNV disorder (Fig. 1). For
49 example, the 1q21.1 deletion causes variable expression of multiple neuronal and non-neuronal
50 phenotypes, including developmental delay, autism, and schizophrenia as well as craniofacial
51 features, cataracts, cardiac defects, and skeletal abnormalities10–12. Additionally, while the
52 7q11.23 deletion associated with Williams-Beuren syndrome (WBS) causes neuropsychiatric and
53 behavioral features, other non-neuronal phenotypes, including supravalvular aortic stenosis,
54 auditory defects, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and musculoskeletal and connective tissue
55 anomalies, are also observed among the deletion carriers13. In fact, individual genes within the
56 WBS region are associated with specific features of the deletion, such as ELN and supravalvular
57 aortic stenosis14, STX1A and impaired glucose tolerance15, LIMK1 and impaired visuospatial
58 abilities16, and GTF2IRD1 and craniofacial abnormalities17. Furthermore, TBX1 was identified to
59 cause the pharyngeal arch cardiac defects associated with the 22q11.2 deletion (DiGeorge
60 syndrome)18, while HNF1B within the 17q12 deletion region was identified as the causative gene
61 for kidney defects associated with the deletion19,20. However, candidate genes for a majority of
62 non-neuronal phenotypes have not been identified for several rare CNV disorders, in particular

63 for CNVs associated with variably-expressive phenotypes such as the 1q21.1 deletion and the
64 16p11.2 deletion21,22. Additionally, affected individuals who carry disruptive mutations in
65 neurodevelopmental genes from recent sequencing studies have also been documented to
66 manifest non-neuronal phenotypes. For example, individuals with loss-of-function mutations in
67 the autism-associated gene CHD8 present with gastrointestinal problems, tall stature, and
68 craniofacial features in addition to neuropsychiatric features23, while mutations in the
69 microcephaly-associated gene KIF11 also lead to congenital lymphedema and retinopathy24.
70 Despite the importance of identifying genes within CNVs that contribute towards non-
71 neuronal phenotypes, functional studies of CNV genes have primarily focused on detailed
72 assessments of neuronal phenotypes in model systems. For example, mouse models generated for
73 the 16p11.2 deletion exhibited post-natal lethality, reduced brain size and neural progenitor cell
74 count, motor and habituation defects, synaptic defects, and behavioral defects25–27. Similarly,
75 mouse models for the 3q29 deletion showed decreased weight and brain size, increased
76 locomotor activity and startle response, and decreased spatial learning and memory28,29.
77 However, fewer studies have focused on detailed evaluation of non-neuronal phenotypes in
78 functional models of CNV disorders. For example, Arbogast and colleagues evaluated obesity
79 and metabolic changes in 16p11.2 deletion mice, which showed reduced weight and impaired
80 adipogenesis30. While Haller and colleagues showed that mice with knockdown of MAZ, a gene
81 within the 16p11.2 deletion region, contribute to the genitourinary defects observed in
82 individuals with the deletion31, mouse studies on other homologs of 16p11.2 genes, including
83 TAOK2, KCTD13, and MAPK3, have only focused on assessing neuronal defects32–36.
84 Furthermore, Dickinson and colleagues reported a high-throughput analysis of essential genes in
85 mice and identified both neuronal and non-neuronal phenotypes for individual gene knockouts,

86 including more than 400 genes that lead to lethality37. While these efforts aided in implicating
87 novel genes with human disease, our understanding of how genes associated with
88 neurodevelopmental disorders contribute towards non-neuronal phenotypes is still limited.
89 Therefore, a large-scale analysis of non-neuronal phenotypes is necessary to identify specific
90 candidate genes within CNV regions and associated biological mechanisms that contribute
91 towards these phenotypes.
92 Drosophila melanogaster is an excellent model system to evaluate homologs of
93 neurodevelopmental genes, as many developmental processes and signaling pathways are
94 conserved between humans and flies38. In fact, over 75% of human disease genes have homologs
95 in Drosophila, including many genes involved in cellular signaling processes39,40. We recently
96 examined the contributions of individual Drosophila homologs of 28 genes within the 16p11.2
97 and 3q29 deletion regions towards specific neurodevelopmental phenotypes, including rough eye
98 phenotypes and defects in climbing ability, axon targeting, neuromuscular junction, and dendritic
99 arborization41,42. While these findings implicated multiple genes within each CNV region
100 towards neuronal phenotypes, the conserved role of these genes towards non-neuronal
101 phenotypes is not well understood. The Drosophila wing is an effective model system to
102 evaluate such developmental phenotypes, as key components of conserved signaling pathways,
103 such as Notch, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), Hegdehog, and Wnt pathways, were
104 identified using fly wing models43–49. For example, Wu and colleagues showed that
105 overexpression of the Drosophila homolog for UBE3A, associated with Angelman syndrome,
106 leads to abnormal wing and eye morphology defects50. Furthermore, Drosophila mutant screens
107 for developmental phenotypes, including wing defects, were used to identify conserved genes for
108 several human genetic diseases, including Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease and syndromic

109 microcephaly51. Kochinke and colleagues also recently performed a large-scale screening of ID-
110 associated genes, and found an enrichment of wing trichome density and missing vein
111 phenotypes in ID genes compared to control gene sets52. Hence, the fly wing provides a model
112 system that is ideal for evaluating the contributions of individual homologs of CNV genes
113 towards cellular and developmental phenotypes.
114 In this study, we tested the non-neuronal phenotypes of 79 fly homologs of human genes
115 within ten pathogenic CNV regions and genes associated with neurodevelopmental disorders.
116 We observed a wide range of robust qualitative and quantitative adult wing phenotypes among
117 the 136 RNA interference (RNAi) lines tested in our study, including size defects, ectopic and
118 missing veins, severe wrinkling, and lethality. Further analysis of cellular phenotypes revealed
119 disruptions in conserved developmental processes in the larval imaginal wing disc, including
120 altered levels of cell proliferation and apoptosis as well as altered expression patterns in the Wnt,
121 Hedgehog, and Notch signaling pathways. However, we found no correlation in the severity of
122 phenotypes observed with wing and eye-specific knockdown. Our findings were further
123 supported by differences in expression patterns and network connectivity of human CNV genes
124 across different tissues. Our analysis emphasizes the importance of multiple genes within each
125 CNV region towards both global and tissue-specific developmental processes, potentially
126 accounting for the non-neuronal phenotypes associated with pathogenic CNVs.

128 RESULTS
129 Wing-specific knockdown of fly homologs of CNV genes show non-neuronal phenotypes
130 Using an RNAi based analysis driven by the bxMS1096-GAL4 wing-specific driver, we tested a
131 total of 136 RNAi lines for 59 homologs of genes within pathogenic CNV regions (chromosomal
132 locations 1q21.1, 3q29, 7q11.23, 15q11.2, 15q13.3, 16p11.2, distal 16p11.2, 16p12.1, 16p13.11,
133 and 17q12) and 20 homologs of genes associated with neurodevelopmental disorders (Supp.
134 Data 1). Fly homologs of these genes were identified using the DIOPT orthology prediction
135 tool53. We list both the human gene name and the fly gene name for each tested gene as HUMAN
136 GENE/Fly gene (i.e. KCTD13/CG10465) as well as the human CNV region for context at first
137 instance. We scored 20-25 adult wings for five distinct wing phenotypes in each non-lethal
138 RNAi line, including wrinkled wing, discoloration, ectopic veins, missing veins, and bristle
139 planar polarity phenotypes (Fig. 2A; Supp. Data 2). We first categorized each wing phenotype
140 based on their severity and performed k-means clustering analysis to categorize each RNAi line
141 by their overall phenotype severity (Fig. 2B-C). We observed four clusters of RNAi lines: 75
142 lines with no observable qualitative phenotypes (55.2%), 24 lines with mild phenotypes (17.7%),
143 10 lines with moderate phenotypes (7.4%), 21 lines with severe phenotypes (15.4%), and 6 lines
144 with lethal phenotypes (4.4%), including ACACA/ACC within 17q12, DLG1/dlg1 within 3q29,
145 and STX1A/Syx1A within 7q11.23 (Fig. 2B-D; Supp. Data 2). We observed severe wrinkled
146 wing phenotypes for 13/79 fly homologs, including PPP4C/Pp4-19C within 16p11.2,
147 ATXN2L/Atx2 within distal 16p11.2, AATF/Aatf within 17q12, and MFI2/Tsf2 within 3q29 (Fig.
148 3A-B, Supp. Data 3). Interestingly, seven out of ten CNV regions contained at least one
149 homolog that showed lethality or severe wing phenotypes, and five CNV regions (3q29, 16p11.2,
150 distal 16p11.2, 16p12.1, and 17q12) had multiple homologs showing lethality or severe wing

151 phenotypes (Fig. 3A, Supp. Data 3). For example, RNAi lines for both UQCRC2/UQCR-C2 and
152 POLR3E/Sin within 16p12.1 showed lethality. Within the 3q29 region, NCBP2/Cbp20 and
153 MFI2/Tsf2 showed severe phenotypes while DLG1/dlg1 showed lethality. In contrast, 12/20
154 known neurodevelopmental genes showed no observable wing phenotypes, suggesting that these
155 genes could be responsible for neuronal-specific phenotypes (Fig. 3B, Supp. Data 3). We note
156 that 18/79 fly homologs showed discordant phenotypes between two or more RNAi lines for the
157 same gene, which could be due to differences in expression of the RNAi construct among these
158 lines (Supp. Data 3).
159 Certain qualitative phenotypes exhibited higher frequency in males compared to females.
160 For example, discoloration (87 lines in males compared to 56 lines in females; p=1.315×10-4,
161 two-tailed Fisher’s exact test) and missing vein phenotypes (92 lines in males compared to 29
162 lines in females; p=2.848×10-16, two-tailed Fisher’s exact test) at any degree of severity were
163 more commonly observed in males than females (Supp. Data 2). In particular, 25/92 lines in
164 males (compared to 1/29 in females) showed a total loss of the anterior crossvein (ACV) (Supp.
165 Data 2). We further identified 17 RNAi lines that were lethal in males with wing-specific
166 knockdown of fly homologs. While higher frequencies of wing phenotypes in males could be
167 due to a sex-specific bias of developmental phenotypes, the increased severity we observed in
168 males is most likely due to a stronger RNAi knockdown caused by an X-linked dosage
169 compensation, as the bxMS1096-GAL4 driver is inserted on the fly X chromosome54,55.
170 Next, we measured the total adult wing area and the lengths of six veins (longitudinal L2,
171 L3, L4, L5, ACV, and posterior crossvein or PCV) in the adult wing for each of the tested RNAi
172 lines that did not show lethality (or severe wrinkled phenotypes for vein length measurements)
173 (Fig. 4A). Overall, we identified significant wing measurement changes for 89 RNAi lines

174 compared to controls, which included lines that did not have an observable qualitative wing
175 phenotype (Fig. 2D). A summary of L3 vein lengths is presented in Fig. 4B, and the
176 measurements for the remaining five veins are presented in Supp. Figure 1 and Supp. Data. 2.
177 We found that 33/61 of the homologs (54%) showed significant changes in L3 vein length,
178 including 20 homologs with longer vein lengths and 13 homologs with shorter vein lengths
179 (Supp. Data 3). Additionally, 41/74 of the fly homologs (55%) showed changes in wing area
180 (Supp. Data 3), including 36 homologs which showed smaller wing areas and five homologs
181 showed larger wing areas compared to controls (Supp. Data 3). For example, both homologs of
182 genes within 1q21.1 region, BCL9/lgs and FMO5/Fmo-2, showed decreased wing area and vein
183 length, potentially mirroring the reduced body length phenotype observed in mouse models of
184 the deletion56 (Fig. 4B-C). In addition, PAK2/Pak within 3q29, TBX1/org-1 within 22q11.2,
185 autism-associated CHD8/kis, and microcephaly-associated ASPM/asp also showed smaller wing
186 areas and vein lengths (Fig. 4B-C). In contrast, TRPM1/Trpm within 15q13.3 and the cell
187 proliferation gene PTEN/Pten57 both showed larger wing areas and vein lengths (Fig. 4B-C).
188 Furthermore, we identified eight homologs that showed no qualitative wing phenotypes but had
189 significant changes in wing areas and vein lengths (Supp. Data 3), including CCDC101/Sgf29 in
190 distal 16p11.2, FMO5/Fmo-2, TRPM1/Trpm, DHRS11/CG9150 in 17q12, and NSUN5/Nsun5 in
191 7q11.23 (Fig. 4B-C; Supp. Data 3). These results indicate that homologs of certain CNV genes
192 may influence variations in size without causing adverse wing phenotypes, and may be
193 specifically implicated towards cellular growth mechanisms.

197 Homologs of CNV genes show global and tissue-specific effects during development
198 We previously showed that many of the same fly homologs of CNV genes that showed wing
199 defects in the current study also contributed towards neuronal phenotypes in the fly eye41,42,
200 suggesting a role for these genes in global development. We therefore performed ubiquitous and
201 eye-specific knockdown of fly homologs to assess tissue-specific effects in comparison to the
202 wing phenotypes. First, we used the da-GAL4 driver at 25°C to drive ubiquitous knockdown of
203 RNAi lines for 31 homologs of CNV genes, including 19 that were previously published41,42, and
204 observed complete or partial lethality at larval and pupal stages with knockdown of 10/31
205 homologs (32.3%) (Fig. 5A). Lethal phenotypes have also been documented for 43/130
206 knockout mouse models of individual CNV genes as well as for the entire deletion (Supp. Data
207 4). For example, mouse models heterozygous for the 16p11.2 deletion showed partial neonatal
208 lethality, while knockout mouse models of four individual genes within the 16p11.2 region,
209 including Ppp4C-/- and Kif22-/-, showed embryonic lethality25,58,59. In our study, the DLG1/dlg1
210 line that showed lethality with wing-specific knockdown also exhibited larval lethality with
211 ubiquitous knockdown, indicating its role in global development (Fig. 5A). In addition, six
212 homologs that showed severe wing phenotypes also showed larval or pupal lethality with
213 ubiquitous knockdown, including ALDOA/Ald and PPP4C/Pp4-19C within 16p11.2 and
214 ATXN2L/Atx2 and TUFM/mEFTu1 within distal 16p11.2 (Fig. 5A). The remaining homologs
215 that showed lethality with ubiquitous knockdown showed at least a mild qualitative or
216 quantitative wing phenotype.
217 We next compared the phenotypes observed with wing-specific knockdown of fly
218 homologs to their corresponding eye-specific knockdowns to evaluate neuronal versus non-
219 neuronal effects. To quantitatively assess the phenotypic severity of cellular defects with eye-

220 specific knockdown of fly homologs, we developed a tool called Flynotyper60 that determines the
221 degree of disorganization among the ommatidia in the adult eye. We analyzed phenotypic scores
222 obtained from Flynotyper for 66 RNAi lines of 45 fly homologs, including from previously-
223 published datasets41,42,60. We found that 37/45 homologs (82.2%) exhibited both eye and wing-
224 specific defects (Fig. 5B, Supp. Fig. 2, Supp. Data 5). Two homologs with significant eye
225 phenotypes did not show any wing phenotypes, including SPNS1/spin within distal 16p11.2 and
226 microcephaly-associated SLC25A19/Tpc161, while five homologs only showed wing-specific
227 phenotypes, including CDIPT/Pis and YPEL3/CG15309 within 16p11.2, FBXO45/Fsn and
228 OSTalpha/CG6836 within 3q29, and UQCRC2/UQCR-C2 (Fig. 5B, Supp. Fig. 2). In particular,
229 UQCRC2/UQCR-C2 showed lethality with wing-specific knockdown, suggesting potential
230 tissue-specific effects of this gene in non-neuronal cells (Fig. 5B). While most homologs
231 contributed towards both eye and wing-specific phenotypes, we observed a wide range of
232 severity in eye phenotypes that did not correlate with the severity of quantitative or qualitative
233 wing phenotypes (Fig. 5C). For example, TUFM/mEFTu1 showed a severe wing phenotype but
234 only a mild increase in eye phenotypic score, while SH2B1/Lnk, also within the distal 16p11.2
235 region, showed severe rough eye phenotypes but only a mild increase in wing size (Fig. 5D).
236 Similarly, BCL9/lgs also showed opposing tissue-specific effects with mild qualitative wing
237 phenotype and severe eye phenotype, suggesting that the role of these homologs towards
238 development differs across tissue types.
239
240 CNV genes show variable expression across different tissues in flies and humans
241 To assess how expression levels of CNV genes vary across different tissues, we first examined
242 the expression patterns of fly homologs in larval and adult tissues using the FlyAtlas Anatomical

243 Microarray dataset62. We found that 76/77 homologs with available data were expressed in at
244 least one larval and adult tissue (Supp. Fig. 3, Supp. Data 6). In general, we did not observe a
245 correlation between wing phenotype severity and expression patterns of homologs in larval or
246 adult tissues (Fig. 6A). For example, 58/77 homologs (75.3%) showed ubiquitous larval
247 expression, including both fly homologs that showed no qualitative wing phenotypes, such as
248 KCTD13/CG10465 within 16p11.2 and FBXO45/Fsn, and those with severe wing phenotypes,
249 such as PPP4C/Pp4-19C and NCBP2/Cbp20 (Fig. 6A, Supp. Fig. 3). Furthermore, 30/39
250 homologs (76.9%) that showed eye phenotypes also had ubiquitous larval expression, providing
251 further support to the observation that genes causing neuronal phenotypes may also contribute to
252 developmental phenotypes in other tissues (Supp. Data 5). Of note, 9/77 homologs (11.7%) did
253 not have any expression in the larval central nervous system, including FMO5/Fmo-2,
254 BDH1/CG8888 within 3q29, and TBX6/Doc2 within 16p11.2 (Fig. 6A, Supp. Fig. 3). However,
255 we observed wing phenotypes for 8/9 of these homologs, suggesting that they may contribute to
256 tissue-specific phenotypes outside of the nervous system. Except for the epilepsy-associated
257 SCN1A/para63, which was exclusively expressed in both the larval central nervous system (CNS)
258 and adult brain tissues, other tested neurodevelopmental genes were also expressed in non-
259 neuronal tissues (Fig. 6A).
260 We further used the GTEx Consortium dataset64 to examine tissue-specific expression of
261 150 human CNV and known neurodevelopmental genes across six tissues including brain, heart,
262 kidney, lung, liver, and muscle. We found 121 genes that were expressed in at least one adult
263 tissue, including 49 genes (32.7%) that showed ubiquitous expression across all six tissues
264 (Supp. Data 6). Of the 112 genes expressed in non-neuronal tissues, 34 did not have any
265 neuronal expression, including TBX1, FMO5 and GJA5 within 1q21.1, and ATP2A1 within distal

266 16p11.2 (Fig. 6B, Supp. Data 6). FMO5 and TBX1 also showed non-neuronal expression in
267 Drosophila tissues, suggesting that their tissue-specific expression is highly conserved (Fig. 6A).
268 Other genes showing ubiquitous expression also had preferentially high expression for specific
269 non-neuronal tissues, including ALDOA and UQCRC2 for muscle and heart for (Fig. 6B). In
270 contrast, we found nine genes that were expressed only in the adult brain, including FAM57B
271 and DOC2A within 16p11.2, as well as SCN1A, which showed similar CNS-only expression in
272 Drosophila tissues (Fig. 6B, Supp. Data 6).
273
274 Knockdown of fly homologs of CNV genes lead to disruption of basic cellular processes
275 The disruption of basic cellular processes in neuronal cells, such as cell proliferation and
276 apoptosis, have been implicated in neurodevelopmental disorders65–67. We previously identified
277 defects in cell proliferation among photoreceptors neurons in larval eye discs with knockdown of
278 16p11.2 homologs, as well as increased apoptosis with knockdown of a subset of 3q29
279 homologs41,42. Here, we explored how these basic cellular processes are altered in non-neuronal
280 cells, specifically in the developing wing disc. We targeted 27 fly homologs that showed a range
281 of adult wing phenotypes for changes in cell proliferation and apoptosis, using anti-phospho-
282 Histone H3 Ser10 (pH3) and anti-Drosophila caspase-1 (dcp1), respectively, in the third instar
283 larval wing discs. We identified 23/27 homologs that showed significant increases in apoptotic
284 cells compared to controls, including seven homologs, such as PPP4C/Pp4-19C, ATXN2L/Atx2,
285 and AATF/Aatf , which showed dcp1 staining across the entire larval wing pouch (Fig. 7A-B,
286 Supp. Figs. 4-5, Supp. Data 7). In addition, 16/27 genes showed decreased levels of
287 proliferation, including eight homologs which also showed apoptosis defects, such as
288 CYFIP1/Sra-1 within 15q11.2, SH2B1/Lnk, and the microcephaly gene KIF11/Klp61F (Fig. 7A

289 and 7C, Supp. Figs. 4-5, Supp. Data 7). All six of the tested homologs with severe adult wing
290 phenotypes showed both increased apoptosis and decreased proliferation (Supp. Data 7).
291 Similarly, 3/4 homologs of genes showing lethality with wing-specific knockdown also showed
292 defects in apoptosis or proliferation, with the exception of ACACA/ACC (Supp. Figure 4, Supp.
293 Data 7). As bxMS1096-GAL4 is located on the X-chromosome, we expected to see more severe
294 defects in males compared with females with knockdown of homologs due to the X-linked
295 dosage compensation54,55. However, knockdown of 3/11 tested homologs with sex-specific
296 differences in adult wing phenotypes, including BCL9/lgs, CYFIP1/Sra-1, and
297 DNAJC30/CG11035 within 7q11.23, showed significantly decreased levels of cell proliferation
298 in females but no change for males compared to their respective controls, suggesting a sex-
299 specific effect of these genes for cell proliferation (Supp. Fig. 5, Supp. Data 7). Overall, our
300 results suggest that cell proliferation and apoptosis play an important role towards development
301 in both neuronal and non-neuronal tissues.
302
303 Homologs of candidate CNV genes disrupt conserved signaling pathways
304 Several conserved signaling pathways that are active in a spatial and temporal manner in the
305 larval wing disc, such as Wnt, Hedgehog, BMP, and Notch signaling, regulate the anterior-
306 posterior (A/P) and dorsal-ventral (D/V) boundaries to determine accurate morphology and vein
307 patterning in the adult wing48,49,68–70. For example, Wnt and Notch signaling pathways both act
308 along the D/V boundary to determine cell fate71,72, while Hedgehog signaling is dependent upon
309 expression of both engrailed in the posterior compartment and patched along the A/P border73,74.
310 Furthermore, O’Roak and colleagues showed that genes identified from de novo mutations in
311 patients with autism are linked to β-catenin/Wnt pathway75. In addition, familial loss-of-function

312 mutations in the human hedgehog signaling pathway gene PTCH1 are implicated in basal cell
313 nevus syndrome, leading to basal cell carcinoma76,77.
314 Based on adult wing phenotypes and disruptions to cellular processes, we next tested
315 whether knockdown of 14 fly homologs disrupt conserved signaling pathways in the third instar
316 larval wing disc (Supp. Data 7). In particular, we evaluated the role of Wnt, Hedgehog, and
317 Notch signaling pathways by testing the expression patterns of four key proteins within these
318 pathways, including wingless (Wnt), patched (Hedgehog), engrailed (Hedgehog), and delta
319 (Notch). We found that 9/14 homologs, including 8/10 homologs showing severe wing
320 phenotypes or lethality, exhibited disruptions in at least one signaling pathway. For example, five
321 homologs with severe or lethal phenotypes showed disruptions of all four signaling pathways,
322 including AATF/Aatf, NCBP2/Cbp20, POLR3E/Sin, PPP4C/Pp4-19C, and KIF11/Klp61F (Fig.
323 8, Supp. Data 7). Our observations are in concordance with previous findings by Swarup and
324 colleagues, who showed that PPP4C/Pp4-19C is a candidate regulator of Wnt and Notch
325 signaling pathways in Drosophila larval wing discs78. Furthermore, two genes from the 3q29
326 region, DLG1/dlg1 and MFI2/Tsf2, showed altered expression patterns for delta and patched but
327 not for engrailed, indicating that they selectively interact with the Hedgehog as well as Notch
328 signaling pathway (Supp. Fig. 6). In fact, Six and colleagues showed that Dlg1 directly binds to
329 the PDZ-binding domain of Delta179. In contrast, ACACA/ACC and UQCRC2/UQCR-C2 showed
330 no changes in expression patterns for any of the four signaling proteins tested, suggesting that the
331 observed lethality could be due to other cellular mechanisms (Supp. Fig. 6). We conclude that a
332 subset of homologs disrupt the expression of key proteins in signaling pathways, potentially
333 accounting for the developmental phenotypes observed in the adult wings.

335 Connectivity patterns of candidate genes vary across human tissue-specific networks
336 We examined patterns of connectivity for the nine candidate genes which showed disruptions of
337 signaling pathways within the context of human brain, heart, and kidney-specific gene
338 interaction networks80. These tissue-specific networks were constructed using Bayesian
339 classifier-generated probabilities for pairwise genetic interactions based on co-expression data80.
340 We calculated the lengths of the shortest paths between each candidate gene and 267 Wnt,
341 Notch, and Hedgehog pathway genes in each network as a proxy for connectivity (Supp. Data
342 8). In all three networks, each of the candidate genes were connected to a majority of the tested
343 signaling pathway genes, suggesting that our results have translational relevance towards human
344 developmental pathways (Fig. 9A, Supp. Fig. 7). Interestingly, we observed a higher
345 connectivity (i.e. shorter path distances) between candidate genes and Wnt and Hedgehog
346 pathway genes in the brain-specific network compared to the heart and kidney-specific networks
347 (Fig. 9B). We further identified enrichments for genes involved in specific biological processes
348 among the connector genes that were located in the shortest paths within neuronal and non-
349 neuronal tissue-specific networks (Fig. 9C, Supp. Data 8). For example, axon-dendrite
350 transport, dopaminergic signaling, and signal transduction functions were enriched among
351 connector genes only for the brain-specific network, while organelle organization and protein
352 ubiquitination were enriched among connector genes only for kidney and heart networks (Fig.
353 9C). However, several core biological processes, such as cell cycle, protein metabolism,
354 transcriptional regulation, and RNA processing/splicing, were enriched among connector genes
355 within all three tissue-specific networks (Fig. 9C). Our analysis highlights that human CNV
356 genes potentially interact with developmental signaling pathways in an ubiquitous manner, but
357 may affect different biological processes in neuronal and non-neuronal tissues.

358 DISCUSSION
359 We used the Drosophila wing as a model to identify key CNV genes involved in non-neuronal
360 phenotypes associated with CNV disorders. We tested fly homologs of 79 genes and identified
361 multiple homologs within each CNV region that exhibited strong phenotypes indicative of
362 developmental disruptions. Several themes have emerged from our study highlighting the
363 importance of fly homologs of CNV genes towards both global and tissue-specific phenotypes
364 associated with human CNV disorders.
365 First, we found that homologs of CNV genes contribute towards developmental
366 phenotypes through ubiquitous roles in neuronal and non-neuronal tissues. Although we did not
367 study models for the entire CNV, nearly all individual fly homologs of CNV genes contribute to
368 wing-specific developmental phenotypes. It is likely that these genes may also contribute to
369 additional phenotypes in other tissues that we did not assess. In fact, a subset of these genes also
370 showed early lethality with ubiquitous knockdown in addition to severe or lethal wing-specific
371 phenotypes. However, we found no correlation between the severity of the eye and wing
372 phenotypes, suggesting tissue-specific effects of these homologs towards developmental
373 phenotypes. In contrast, fly homologs of known neurodevelopmental genes generally showed
374 milder wing phenotypes compared with eye phenotypes, indicating a more neuronal role for
375 these genes. While our study only examined a subset of CNV genes with Drosophila homologs,
376 phenotypic data from knockout mouse models also support a global developmental role for
377 individual CNV genes. In fact, 44/130 knockout models of CNV genes within the Mouse
378 Genome Informatics (MGI) database81 exhibited non-neuronal phenotypes, including 20
379 homologs of CNV genes that showed both neuronal and non-neuronal phenotypes (Supp. Data
380 4). For example, knockout mouse models of Dlg1-/- show defects in dendritic growth and

381 branching in the developing nervous system, in addition to craniofacial features and multiple
382 kidney and urinary tract defects82–85. Furthermore, Chapman and colleagues showed that
383 knockout of Tbx6-/- caused defects in mesodermal and neuronal differentiation early in
384 development, leading to abnormal vascular, tail bud, and neural tube morphology86. These
385 observations further support our findings that most fly homologs of CNV genes have a global
386 role in development that could account for the observed non-neuronal phenotypes.
387 Second, based on tissue-specific phenotypes, we identified fly homologs of CNV genes
388 that are key regulators of conserved cellular processes important for development. For example,
389 9/10 homologs with severe or lethal adult wing phenotypes also exhibited defects in cell
390 proliferation and apoptosis during development. In fact, we found concordance between cellular
391 processes affected by wing and eye-specific knockdown of homologs of genes within 16p11.2
392 and 3q29 regions, including decreased proliferation for MAPK3/rl and increased apoptosis for
393 NCBP2/Cbp20 and DLG1/dlg141,42. While eye-specific knockdown of BDH1/CG8888 showed
394 decreased cell proliferation in larval eye discs42, we found increased cell proliferation with wing-
395 specific knockdown, suggesting a tissue-specific effect for this gene. Notably, at least one fly
396 homolog per CNV region showed defects in cell proliferation or apoptosis, suggesting that these
397 conserved cellular processes may be relevant to CNV pathogenicity. For example, ATXN2L/Atx2,
398 SH2B1/Lnk, and CCDC101/Sgf29 each showed decreased proliferation and increased apoptosis,
399 suggesting an underlying common conserved cellular mechanism for the distal 16p11.2 deletion.
400 Furthermore, a subset of these genes also disrupted multiple signaling pathways, indicating a
401 potential role for these genes as key regulators of developmental processes. We specifically
402 identified five genes whose knockdown caused disruptions of Wnt, Notch, and hedgehog
403 signaling pathways. Each of these genes have important roles in cell cycle regulation, apoptosis,

404 transcription, or RNA processing, based on Gene Ontology annotations87,88. In fact, we found
405 that the RNA transport protein NCBP2/Cbp2089, which we recently identified as a key modifier
406 gene for the 3q29 deletion42, interfaced with all three signaling pathways. Furthermore, AATF
407 disrupts apoptosis and promotes cell cycle progression through displacement of HDAC190–92,
408 while PPP4C promotes spindle organization at the centromeres during mitosis93. While we only
409 evaluated the role of these genes towards development in a single fly tissue, our additional
410 analysis of human gene interaction networks showed strong connectivity between the CNV
411 genes and signaling pathways in multiple neuronal and non-neuronal human tissues. In fact, cell
412 cycle genes were enriched among the connector genes in all three tissue-specific networks,
413 further emphasizing the role of cell cycle processes towards developmental phenotypes. Notably,
414 we also observed certain biological processes enriched among connector genes that were specific
415 to neuronal or non-neuronal tissues, indicating that haploinsufficiency of genes within CNV
416 regions may disrupt different biological processes in a tissue-specific manner.
417 Overall, we show that fly homologs of most CNV genes contribute towards global
418 developmental phenotypes, although exactly how they contribute toward such phenotypes varies
419 between neuronal and non-neuronal tissues. Previous functional studies for CNV disorders have
420 focused primarily on identifying candidate genes for the observed neuronal phenotypes. In this
421 study, we identified several homologs of CNV genes that are responsible for non-neuronal
422 phenotypes, as well as novel associations between these genes and conserved biological
423 processes and pathways. We therefore propose that multiple genes within each CNV disrupt
424 global and tissue-specific processes during development and contribute to the wide range of non-
425 neuronal phenotypes associated with CNV disorders (Fig. 10). This multigenic model for non-
426 neuronal phenotypes in CNV disorders is in line with our previous model for neuronal

427 phenotypes of these disorders, as opposed to models where individual causative genes are
428 responsible for specific phenotypes41,42,94. Our study further exemplifies the utility of evaluating
429 non-neuronal phenotypes in addition to neuronal phenotypes in models of individual genes and
430 CNV regions associated with developmental disorders, including future studies in mammalian or
431 cellular model systems. Further studies exploring how CNV genes interact with each other and
432 with other developmental pathways could more fully explain the conserved mechanisms
433 underlying global developmental defects and identify potential therapeutic targets for these
434 disorders.

435 METHODS
436 Fly stocks and genetics
437 We tested 59 Drosophila homologs for 130 human genes that span across 10 pathogenic CNV
438 regions associated with neurodevelopmental disorders (1q21.1, 3q29, 7q11.23, 15q11.2, 15q13.3,
439 16p11.2, distal 16p11.2, 16p12.1, 16p13.11, and 17q12)22 (Supp. Data 1). In addition, we
440 evaluated fly homologs of 20 human genes known to be in involved in neurodevelopmental
441 disorders60,95 (Supp. Data 1). These include genes involved in beta-catenin signaling pathway (5
442 genes), core genes implicated in neurodevelopmental disorders (8 genes), and genes associated
443 with microcephaly (7 genes)96. We used the DRSC Integrative Ortholog Prediction Tool
444 (DIOPT, v.7.1) to identify the fly homologs for each human gene53 (Supp. Data 1).
445 To knockdown individual genes in specific tissues, we used RNA interference (RNAi)
446 and the UAS-GAL4 system (Fig. 2A), a well-established tool that allows for tissue-specific
447 expression of a gene of interest97. RNAi lines were obtained from Vienna Drosophila Resource
448 Center (VDRC) that include both GD and KK lines. We tested a total of 136 lines in our final
449 data analysis (Supp. Data 9), after eliminating KK lines with additional insertion that drives the
450 overexpression of the Tiptop (tio) transcription factor98,99. A complete list of stock numbers and
451 full genotypes for all RNAi lines used in this study is presented in Supp. Data 9. We used the
452 bxMS1096-GAL4/FM7c;;UAS-Dicer2/TM6B driver for wing-specific knockdown and w1118;GMR-
453 GAL4;UAS-Dicer2 driver (Claire Thomas, Penn State University) for eye-specific knockdown of
454 RNAi lines. Ubiquitous knockdown experiments were performed using the w;da-GAL4;+ driver
455 (Scott Selleck, Penn State University). For all experiments, we used appropriate GD (w1118,
456 VDRC# 60000) or KK (y,w1118; P{attP,y+,w3`}, VDRC# 60100) lines as controls to compare
457 against lines with knockdown of individual homologs. All fly lines were reared on standard yeast

458 Drosophila medium at room temperature. All crosses were set and maintained at 25°C, except
459 for the eye knockdown experiments which were maintained at 30°C.
460
461 Phenotypic analysis of adult wing images
462 Adult progeny were isolated from crosses between RNAi lines and bxMS1096-GAL4 driver shortly
463 after eclosion, and kept at 25°C until day 2-5 (Fig. 2A). At that point, the progeny were frozen at
464 -80°C, and were then moved to -20°C prior to imaging and storage. Approximately 20-25
465 progeny, both male and female, were collected for each RNAi line tested. The adult wings were
466 plucked from frozen flies and mounted on a glass slide. The slides were covered with a coverslip
467 and sealed using clear nail polish. Adult wing images were captured using a Zeiss Discovery
468 V20 stereoscope (Zeiss, Thornwood, NY, USA), with a ProgRes Speed XT Core 3 camera and
469 CapturePro v.2.8.8 software (Jenoptik AG, Jena, Germany) at 40X magnification.
470 For each non-lethal RNAi line, we scored the adult wing images for five qualitative
471 phenotypes, including wrinkled wing, discoloration, missing veins, ectopic veins, and bristle
472 planar polarity defects, on a scale of 1 (no phenotype) to 5 (lethal) (Fig. 3C). Lines showing
473 severely wrinkled wings or lethality were scored as 4 (severe) or 5 (lethal) for all five
474 phenotypes. We calculated the frequency of each phenotypic score (i.e. mild bristle polarity,
475 moderate discoloration) across all of the wing images for each line (Fig. 3A-B), and then
476 performed k-means clustering of these values to generate five clusters for overall wing
477 phenotypes (Fig. 2C). For quantitative analysis of wing phenotypes, we used the Fiji ImageJ
478 software100 to calculate the wing area using the Measure Area tool, and calculated the lengths of
479 longitudinal veins L2, L3, L4, and L5 as well as the anterior and posterior crossveins (ACV and
480 PCV), by tracing individual veins using the Segmented Line tool (Fig. 4A, Supp. Data 2). We

481 determined discordant homologs when RNAi lines for the same homologs showed inconsistent
482 wing phenotypes. For each homolog with multiple RNAi lines, we checked discordance among
483 RNAi lines for no phenotype versus any qualitative or quantitative phenotypes, followed by
484 discordance for small or large wing measurement phenotypes (Supp. Data 3).
485
486 Phenotypic analysis of adult eye images
487 We crossed RNAi lines with GMR-GAL4 to achieve eye-specific knockdown of homologs of
488 CNV and known neurodevelopmental genes. Adult 2-3-day old female progenies from the
489 crosses were collected, immobilized by freezing at -80°C, and then moved to -20°C prior to
490 imaging and storage. Flies were mounted on Blu-tac (Bostik Inc, Wauwatosa, WI, USA) and
491 imaged using an Olympus BX53 compound microscope with LMPLan N 20X air objective using
492 a DP73 c-mount camera at 0.5X magnification (Olympus Corporation, Tokyo, Japan). CellSens
493 Dimension software (Olympus Corporation, Tokyo, Japan) was used to capture the eye images,
494 which were then stacked using the Zerene Stacker software (Zerene Systems LLC, Richland,
495 WA, USA). All eye images presented in this study are maximum projections of 20 consecutive
496 optical z-sections, at a z-step size of 12.1μm. Finally. we used our computational method called
497 Flynotyper (https://flynotyper.sourceforge.net) to quantify the degree of rough eye phenotypes
498 present due to knockdown of homologs of CNV or neurodevelopmental genes60. Flynotyper
499 scores for homologs of 16p11.2 and 3q29, as well as select core neurodevelopmental genes, were
500 derived from our previous studies41,42,60.

504 Immunohistochemistry
505 Wing imaginal discs from third instar larvae were dissected in 1X PBS. The tissues were fixed
506 using 4% paraformaldehyde and blocked using 1% bovine serum albumin (BSA). The wing discs
507 were incubated with primary antibodies using appropriate dilutions overnight at 4°C. We used
508 the following primary antibodies: mouse monoclonal anti-pHistone3 (S10) (1:100 dilutions, Cell
509 Signaling 9706L), rabbit polyclonal anti-cleaved Drosophila Dcp1 (Asp216) (1:100 dilutions,
510 Cell Signaling 9578S), mouse monoclonal anti-Wingless (1:200 dilutions, DSHB, 4D4), mouse
511 monoclonal anti-Patched (1:50 dilutions, DSHB, Drosophila Ptc/APA1), mouse monoclonal
512 anti-Engrailed (1:50 dilutions, DSHB, 4D9), and mouse monoclonal anti-Delta (1:50 dilutions,
513 DSHB, C594.9B). Following incubation with primary antibodies, the wing discs were washed
514 and incubated with secondary antibodies at 1:200 dilution for two hours at room temperature.
515 We used the following secondary antibodies: Alexa Fluor 647 dye goat anti-mouse (A21235,
516 Molecular Probes by Invitrogen/Life Technologies), Alexa Fluor 568 dye goat anti-rabbit
517 (A11036, Molecular Probes by Invitrogen/Life Technologies), and Alexa Fluor 568 dye goat
518 anti-mouse (A11031, Molecular Probes by Invitrogen/Life Technologies). All washes and
519 antibody dilutions were made using 0.3% PBS with Triton-X.
520 Third instar larvae wing imaginal discs were mounted in Prolong Gold antifade reagent
521 with DAPI (Thermo Fisher Scientific, P36930) for imaging using an Olympus Fluoview FV1000
522 laser scanning confocal microscope (Olympus America, Lake Success, NY). Images were
523 acquired using FV10-ASW 2.1 software (Olympus, Waltham, MA, USA). Composite z-stack
524 images were analyzed using the Fiji ImageJ software100. To calculate the number of pH3 positive
525 cells within the wing pouch area of the wing discs, we used the AnalyzeParticles function in
526 ImageJ, while manual counting was used to quantify Dcp1 positive cells. We note that cell

528 FBXO45/Fsn were previously published42.
529
530 Statistical analysis
531 Significance for the wing area and vein length measurements, cell counts for proliferation and
532 apoptosis, and Flynotyper scores were compared to appropriate GD or KK controls using one-
533 tailed or two-tailed Mann-Whitney tests. P-values for each set of experiments were corrected for
534 multiple testing using Benjamini-Hochberg correction. All statistical and clustering analysis was
535 performed using R v.3.6.1 (R Center for Statistical Computing, Vienna, Austria). Details for the
536 statistical tests performed for each dataset are provided in Supp. Data 10.
537
538 Expression data analysis
539 We obtained tissue-specific expression data for fly homologs of CNV genes from the FlyAtlas
540 Anatomical Microarray dataset62. Raw FPKM (fragments per kilobase of transcript per million
541 reads) expression values for each tissue were categorized as follows: <10, no expression; 10-100,
542 low expression; 100-500, moderate expression; 500-1000, high expression; and >1000, very high
543 expression (Supp. Data 6). The median expression among midgut, hindgut, Malpighian tube,
544 and (for adult only) crop tissues was used to represent the overall gut expression. We similarly
545 obtained human tissue-specific expression data for CNV genes from the GTEx Consortium v.1.2
546 RNA-Seq datasets64. Median TPM (transcripts per million reads) expression values for each
547 tissue were categorized as follows: <3, no expression; 3-10, low expression; 10-25, moderate
548 expression; 25-100, high expression; and >100, very high expression (Supp. Data 6). The
549 median expression among all brain and heart sub-tissues was used to represent brain and heart

550 expression, while the median expression among all colon, esophagus, small intestine, and
551 stomach sub-tissues was used to represent digestive tract expression. Preferential gene
552 expression for a particular tissue within the GTEx dataset was determined if the expression
553 values for that tissue were greater than the third quartile of all tissue expression values for that
554 gene, plus 1.5 times the interquartile range. Venn diagrams were generated using the Venny
555 webtool (http://bioinfogp.cnb.csic.es/tools/venny) (Supp. Fig. 3).
556
557 Network analysis
558 We obtained human tissue-specific gene interaction networks for brain, heart, and kidney tissues
559 from the GIANT network database80 within HumanBase (https://hb.flatironinstitute.org). These
560 networks were built by training a Bayesian classifier based on tissue-specific gene co-expression
561 datasets, which then assigned a posterior probability for interactions between each pair of genes
562 within the genome for a particular tissue. We downloaded the “Top edge” version of each tissue-
563 specific network, and extracted all gene pairs with posterior probabilities >0.2 to create sub-
564 networks containing the top ~0.5% tissue-specific interactions. Next, we identified the shortest
565 paths in each sub-network between human CNV genes whose fly homologs disrupted signaling
566 pathways in the larval wing disc and human genes within each disrupted pathway, using the
567 inverse of the posterior probability as weights for each edge in the network. Gene sets from the
568 human Notch (KEGG:map04330), Wnt (KEGG:map04310) and Hedgehog pathways
569 (KEGG:map04340) were curated from the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG)
570 pathway database101. Using the NetworkX Python package102, we calculated the shortest distance
571 between each CNV gene and pathway gene, and identified connecting genes that were within
572 each of the shortest paths for the three tissue-specific networks. We further tested for enrichment

573 of Gene Ontology (GO) terms (PantherDB GO-Slim) among the connector genes using the
574 PantherDB Gene List Analysis tool103. Lists of the shortest paths and connector genes in each
575 tissue-specific network, as well as enriched GO terms for sets of connector genes, are provided
576 in Supp. Data 8. Gene networks were visualized using Cytoscape v.3.7.2104 using an edge-
577 weighted spring embedded layout.
578
579 Mouse and human phenotypic data analysis
580 Phenotypic data for mouse models of CNV gene homologs, categorized using top-level
581 Mammalian Phenotype Ontology terms, were obtained from the Mouse Genome Informatics
582 (MGI) database81 (Supp. Data 4). Phenotypic data for human carriers of pathogenic CNVs were
583 obtained from the DECIPHER public database9. Clinical phenotypes for each CNV carrier were
584 categorized by top-level Human Phenotype Ontology terms105 using the Orange3 Bioinformatics
585 software library (https://orange-bioinformatics.readthedocs.io), and the frequency of individuals
586 carrying each top-level phenotype term was calculated for each of the ten tested pathogenic
587 CNVs.

864 using the fly wing as a model system. We evaluated 59 Drosophila homologs of genes within 10
865 CNV regions and 20 known neurodevelopmental genes (79 total homologs). Using the UAS-
866 GAL4 system with wing-specific bxMS1096 driver, we knocked down 136 individual RNAi lines

868 phenotypes. We next clustered RNAi lines based on severity of qualitative phenotypes, and
869 compared adult wing phenotypes to phenotypes observed with ubiquitous and eye-specific
870 knockdown of homologs. Furthermore, we evaluated underlying cellular mechanisms for the
871 observed wing-specific phenotypes, and examined the connectivity patterns of candidate
872 homologs for developmental phenotypes in multiple human tissue-specific networks. (B)
