Effects of paternal and chronological age on BEGAIN methylation and its possible role in autism
Figure 2. Paternal age effect on BEGAIN promoter methylation in male but not in female cord bloods. Scatter plot showing significant negative correlation (Pearson’s r = -0.39; p = 0.01) between paternal age (x-axis in years) and mean methylation of 9 CpGs (y-axis in %) in 43 male FCBs (red dots). There was no paternal age effect (Pearson’s r = 0.04; p = 0.78) in 46 female FCBs (green dots).
