Mean degree of cg10738648 methylation for each meQTL identified in visceral adipose tissue samples. CpG methylation levels are shown as average β values ranging from 0 (unmethylated) to 1 (completely methylated). Values presented (mean ± SE) and P values were obtained by general linear models (type III sum of squares) adjusted for the effect of age, sex and BMI (n = 48). Pairwise comparisons among genotype groups were performed using least square means (LS-means) and asterisks represent significant differences vs. common homozygotes. ***P ≤ 0.0001, **P ≤ 0.01, *P ≤ 0.05
