ANKRD26 gene expression, promoter methylation, and BMI. a Relationship between ANKRD26 gene expression and the combined DNA methylation at the CpGs − 689, − 659, and − 651 was assessed in lean (n = 14) and obese individuals (n = 20) by covariate-adjusted Spearman’s rank-order correlation adjusted for age. r = − 0.539, age-adjusted p < 0.001. b Relationship between BMI and the combined DNA methylation at the CpGs − 689, − 659, and − 651 was assessed in lean (n = 14) and obese individuals (n = 20) by covariate-adjusted Spearman’s rank-order correlation adjusted for age. r = 0.736, age-adjusted p < 0.001
