Fig. 2. Association between CM and OXTR epigenetic regulation in mothers.

Fig. 2

A OXTR DNAm did not differ between mothers with childhood maltreatment experiences (CM+; marked with dark points) and without (CM−; marked with light points) (N = 107, F(1,101) = 0.34, p = 0.56). B The severity of CM experiences (measured as the CTQ sum score) did not correlate with maternal OXTR DNAm (R2 = 0.014, p = 0.92). C, D The relative OXTR-gene expression did not differ between CM+ and CM− mothers (N = 73, β = −0.01, p = 0.93) and did not correlate with the severity of CM (N = 73, β = −0.07, p = 0.56). Whiskers indicate variability outside the upper and lower quartiles.
