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 |
Methylationa | CM > CBL | CBL > CM | CBL > CM | CBL > CM | CM > CBL |
Distanceb | 200 | 200 | 440 | 6500 | 1400 |
Fold changec | −2.0 | 1.5 | 1.4 | −100 | 40.4 |
P | .011 | .007 | .210 | <.001 | <.001 |
Expressiond | CBL > CM | CM > CBL | CM > CBL | CBL > CM | CM > CBL |
Note.— CBL = cerebellum; CM = cerebral cortex.
Methylation level from greatest to least, based on β value.
Distance (in bp) to transcriptional start site from the locus showing differential methylation across brain regions.
Fold change = 2−ΔΔCT; ΔΔCT = (CT cerebrum target gene−CT phosphglycerate kinase 1)−(CT cerebellum target gene−CT phosphglycerate kinase 1).
Quantitative real-time PCR result. For each gene, brain-region expression is ranked from greatest to least.
