Note. Mothers showed higher spectral counts than children for 7/17 hair proteins (shaded blue), although children had higher spectral counts for SCGB2A1 (shaded orange). Of these, SCGB2A1 showed the most prominent results, with >5-fold differences from the mothers. Significance was based on Kruskal-Wallis ANOVA with post hoc Benjamini Hochberg corrections for multiple comparisons (*p-value ≤ 0.05, **p-value ≤ 0.01, ***p-value ≤ 0.001).
