Fig. 1. The NR3C1 exon 1F sequence showing the CpG sites CpG1–5 (bold) whose DNA methylation levels were quantified in the present study.

The CpG sites CpG1–5 correspond to the CpGs 35–39 analyzed in McGowan et al.¹¹ and Melas et al.¹². The broken underlined sequence corresponds to nerve growth factor-induced protein A (NGFI-A) binding site, as reported by McGowan et al.¹¹. The solid underlined sequences correspond to the primers
