Note: Differentially methylated genes were analyzed using Enrichr, as described in the Methods. dbGaP, Database of Genotypes and Phenotypes.
The heart function tests and respiratory functions tests categories include genes that have been associated with affecting the outcomes of measurements for normal heart and respiratory function, respectively.
