The Jones et al. BSSA analysis utilizes the relevant quartile (yellow boxes), which corresponds to Q1 for those with two 4A161 alleles and Q2 for those with one 4A161 allele, to determine the methylation status. Conversely, the Gaillard et al. analysis utilizes the average methylation (orange column) to determine the methylation status of a sample. Both analyses would use average methylation for BSSX assessment (green column). The epigenetic diagnosis is based on the Jones et al. method metrics. ND = not determined.
