Table 2 Four candidate aorta-specific DMRs

From: Aorta-specific DNA methylation patterns in cell-free DNA from patients with bicuspid aortic valve-associated aortopathy

DMR Mean methylation difference (%)
Chr Start position Length CpG Non-aortic tissues Hematopoietic cells
11 3,168,734 73 6 70.60 92.75
18 74,171,459 46 8 74.26 91.27
20 45,860,400 65 6 86.88 81.01
22 27,999,645 72 7 75.36 91.28
  1. Data presented for the four DMRs studied include chromosomal location, length (in base pairs), number of CpG sites and methylation differences between the aorta and pooled non-aortic tissues and hematopoietic cells as determined computationally. All DMRs presented are hypomethylated in the aorta compared to non-aortic tissues and hematopoietic cells.
  2. Chr, chromosome; CpG, cytosine–guanine nucleotides
