a

Data are given as mean ± SEM,

b

Increased birth weight group is the top 15 percent from the study (n = 7) compared to the rest (n = 40),

c

Fold change in mean gene expression of increased birth weight divided by control,

d

Unadjusted p-values from t-tests are shown.

e

False discovery rate-adjusted p-values are displayed; since this table includes only genes with FDR-adjusted p-values below 0.05, the interpretation is that we expect 9 or 10 of these discoveries to be true.
