Fig. 2

Promoter of miR-142 is hypomethylated in autism brain. a Scheme of nucleotide sequence directly surrounding the transcription start site (TSS) of miR-142. Three CG dinucleotides found directly upstream of TSS are highlighted in red. b DNA methylation microarray analysis of miR-142 gene, showing five CpGs that are significantly hypomethylated. c Pyrosequencing analysis of the three CpGs directly upstream of the TSS of miR-142. *p value <0.05, **p value <0.01. One-tailed t test. d–f Spearman’s correlation coefficient, including p value between miR-142-5p gene expression and DNA methylation. Each graph represents a correlation between miR-142-5p and a separate CpG site that was analyzed by pyrosequencing
