From: Oxytocin receptor gene methylation as a molecular marker for severity of depressive symptoms in affective disorder patients

Fig. 1

Box plots presenting HAMD score categories, differentiating between no symptoms (n = 80), mild symptoms (n = 190), moderate symptoms (n = 241), severe symptoms (n = 118) and very severe depressive symptoms (n = 119) based on the percentage of methylation ratio (PMR) values of OXTR gene promotor methylation. The analysis resulted in no significant differences in between categories based on the PMR values of OXTR gene promotor methylation (W = 6.306; p = 0.18, n = 748). Outliers (detected with Z-transformation) were removed from the graph for a better visualization of the results (whereas within the statistical analyses no outliers were removed)
