Quantitative Real-Time PCR Results of Five Genes Assayed in Paired Cerebellum and Cerebral Cortex Samples from 15 Individuals[Note]

Measure RASSF1 HDAC7A GABRB3 EN2 HTR2A

Note.— CBL = cerebellum; CM = cerebral cortex.

a

Methylation level from greatest to least, based on β value.

b

Distance (in bp) to transcriptional start site from the locus showing differential methylation across brain regions.

c

Fold change = 2−ΔΔCT; ΔΔCT = (CT cerebrum target gene−CT phosphglycerate kinase 1)−(CT cerebellum target gene−CT phosphglycerate kinase 1).

d

Quantitative real-time PCR result. For each gene, brain-region expression is ranked from greatest to least.
