Unadjusted and adjusteda odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals for postpartum depression by OXTR rs53576 genotype and OXTR methylation site -934, stratified by presence or absence of depression in pregnancy.

aAdjusted models control for psychosocial covariates: childhood life events, recent life events, family adversity, social support, and social network.

bp-value for interaction within each group.

cUnadjusted model represents 141 controls and 138 cases with no depression in pregnancy.

dAdjusted model represents 128 controls and 129 cases with no depression in pregnancy.

eUnadjusted model represents 135 controls and 131 cases with depression in pregnancy.

fAdjusted model represents 123 controls and 120 cases with depression in pregnancy.

See Supplementary Table S3 for a breakdown of each subgroup n by genotype.

The Table shows the odds ratios for PPD for each 10% increase in DNA methylation; p-values are for interaction between genotype and methylation level within each prenatal depression division. The overall p-values for three way interaction were 0.0192 (n = 545) and 0.0081 (n = 500) for unadjusted and adjusted interactions respectively. Main effects are not shown due to the two way interactions.
