When comparing the level of DNA methylation in blood of the 25 highly vulnerable loci between the sire, dam, and full-sibling against the average of US_control blood samples, the dam showed a trend (p = 0.085; mean ± SD = −11.59 ± 19.23) of overall lower DNA methylation level than the sire (−3.09 ± 13.77; Figure 6(a) ).
