Methylation difference between SGA and AGA
| AGA (SD) | SGA - AGA1 | p value2 | |
| IGF2 | 48.5% (3.5) | −0.2% | 0.81 |
| GNASAS | 47.5% (4.6) | −0.7% | 0.41 |
| INSIGF | 79.4% (3.2) | −0.2% | 0.78 |
| LEP | 25.7% (5.3) | −1.3% | 0.24 |
1
The difference in DNA methylation between the small for gestational age and appropriate for gestational age groups. A negative difference means that the SGA group has a lower methylation level.
2
A two-sided p value resulting from a linear mixed model corrected for the correlation between individual CpG dinucleotides, bisulfite batch and sex between the SGA and AGA groups.
