Table 1. Correlation of methylation with gene expression for matched CpGs.

Matched CpGs total positively correlated negatively correlated to ratio neg/pos
Altered CpGs matched to an mRNA 5423 2026 3397 1.68
Matched hypomethylated CpGs 1938 904 1034 1.14
Matched hypermethylated CpGs 3485 1122 2363 2.11

The differentially methylated CpGs that matched to differentially expressed genes are sorted above based on the direction with which gene expression correlated with methylation. A positive correlation indicates that hypermethylation matched with upregulation or hypomethylation matched with gene repression. A negative correlation indicates that hypermethylation matched to a repressed gene or that hypomethylation matched to an unregulated gene. The last column shows the ratio of negatively to positively correlated CpGs for each subgroup in the first column.
