Both the new DMR localizing within the falling slope (5’) and CG163 within the rising slope (3’) of the methylation gap strengthen the effect of the promoter hypomethylation in BPD. Detail: enlarged view of the clustering CG34-38, each hypomethylated in BPD, building the DMR. Red dots: BPD, blue dots: HC.
