Differentially methylated positions (DMPs) in umbilical cord blood DNA between preterm and term infants. a Venn Diagram depicting the differentially methylated CpG sites within each of the four comparison groups (term versus preterm delivery, male versus female neonates, vaginal delivery with contraction stimulated by oxytocin versus not stimulated and whether the process of delivery initiated with PtLb versus PPROM as well as overlap between groups and subgroups). False Discovery Rate (BH: 0.05). b Illustration of the distribution of DMPs over gene regions for all comparison groups. The TSS200: region 200 base pairs within the transcription start site (TSS); TSS: region 1500 base pairs within the TSS excluding the TSS 200 region; UTR: untranslated region as present in the mRNA molecule respectively 5′ of the transcription start site (5′UTR) and 3′ of the termination signal (3′UTR); Body: coding and non-coding regions from the TSS until the termination codon; IGR: intergenic region
