Figure 4: Comparison of the differential methylation profiles associated with obesity between the adipose tissue and leukocyte samples.

A Venn diagram was created to obtain the common differentially methylated CpGs (DMCpGs) (A). Global differences in the methylation levels of the 78 common differentially methylated CpGs identified by the 450-k array analysis (B). Summary of the gene ontology (GO) analysis of the biological process categories for the differentially methylated genes represented by the CpG sites located in the promoter regions and islands (C). P-values were computed using wilcoxon rank sum test.
