Figure 1
Factor scores for males and females reporting child abuse or not reporting child abuse. The first factor is plotted and reflects primarily CpG ratio values (methyl CpG/Total CpG) early in the promoter region (i.e. CpG1 to CpG17). Values for females are on the right and values for males are on the left. Within gender, values for abused are on the right and values for non-abused are on the left.
