Methylation of seven imprinted gene DMRs across a wide range of human tissues.

<p>The number of specimens analyzed is indicated within the parentheses after each tissue listed on the vertical axes. UMD, universally methylated DNA; error bars, SD across tissues; where only one tissue was analyzed, error bars represent the SD for replicate measures. ANOVA analysis (excluding UMD) p values are shown below each graph. Light grey bars designate those tissues showing deviation in methylation from the average; when removed, the p value becomes non-significant (i.e., p≥0.05).
