Fig. 4From: Epigenetic markers in inflammation-related genes associated with mood disorder: a cross-sectional and longitudinal study in high-risk offspring of bipolar parentsLog BDNF-2 methylation percentage by study group from the longitudinal model between Time 1 and Time 2. Estimated longitudinal profiles of log BDNF-2 methylation rates. After adjustment, there was evidence that the rate of decrease in controls (green) is steeper than the rate of decrease of affected HR (red) (p = 0.0140, t-value = − 2.55), and marginally steeper than in unaffected HR (blue) (p = 0.0624, t-value = − 1.91). There was no evidence that the change over time of affected HR (red) was different from unaffected HR (blue) (p = 0.4384, t-value = 0.78)Back to article page
