Despite the relatively large number of highly significant CpGs, we did not find any associations between the rDNAcn and the mean genomic CpG methylation level.

The sentences
In downstream analyses, the 122 rDNAcn-related CpGs revealed 31 differentially methylated regions and 253 nominally significant correlations with cord blood gene transcripts in an eQTM analysis.
When using the 25 genes annotated to the DMRs, a total of 13 overrepresented pathways were identified, of which 11 were significant (p adj < 0.05), and 2 remained only borderline significant (p adj = 0.06) after FDR correction.
