Mother adversity and co-residence time impact mother–child similarity in genome-wide and gene-specific methylation profiles

Table 2 Descriptive information for each specific gene, including the number of CpGs, the mean Methylation similarity index (MSI) for familial and random mother–child pairs, and the t-statistics used to compare MSI in both groups

	Number of CpGs	Familial pairs	Random pairs	t-stat.
	Number of CpGs	Mean across dyads of the MSI		t-stat.
