Boxplots of proportion methylated (beta values) of the TLR-2 and TLR-9 genes in decidual tissue from women with term labor (TL, n = 10) and women with spontaneous preterm labor (sPTL, n = 8) as determined by illumina Infinium HumanMethylation450 BeadChip analysis. DNA methylation was significantly lower in sPTL than TL. The results for TLR-2 are especially noteworthy because there were six gene related sites with significantly reduced methylation and TLR-2 was in the top 3% of hypomethylated genes.
