Top and bottom 1000 differentially methylated fragments ranked by the difference in fragment mediation between the ALS twin and the unaffected twin 2014 samples were subjected to GREAT for enrichment testing in the MSigDB perturbation and MSigDB immunologic signatures. The 5 most enriched terms for each ontology are reported, with a minimum FDR < 0.05.
