FIGURE 1.
Manhattan plot showing distribution of delta beta values for uniquely mapped sites across all chromosomes. The blue line discriminates sites that have suggestive differences in methylation between cases with nephropathy compared to non-nephropathic individuals in the control group. Circles above the red line are loci where a substantial difference in beta values (>0.2) were observed and the two markers supported in the replication group are highlighted in green. Markers that are not uniquely mapped to a chromosome position based on Illumina’s updated bead pool manifest are assigned to chromosome 1 in this figure.
