Using HM450 arrays on DNA from CD4+ T cells, the investigators found significant associations between methylation of two CpG sites with the ATP-binding cassette gene ABCG1 , involved in macrophage cholesterol and phospholipids transport, with insulin resistance, with one associated with insulin “of borderline significance”.

Rate of decline of three of the four specific cognitive domains assessed (episodic memory, semantic memory and perceptual speed) was also associated with rate of decline in purpose in life, and the association between rates of decline in working memory and purpose in life was of borderline significance ( Wilson et al., 2013 ).
Vessel strike scars were observed more frequently in juvenile whales (14.2%) than in adults (2.2%), in contrast to prior observations north of our study area in the Gulf of Maine, though the difference was of borderline significance (mean p -value 0.051, Fisher’s Exact tests on 1000 bootstrapped populations incorporating uncertainty in length measurements).
Alteration in a Notch pathway gene (three patients) was of borderline significance for association with PFS: patients with an oncogenic or likely oncogenic alteration in this pathway had a median PFS of 7.9 (95% CI 5.1 to not reached) compared with 17.9 weeks in patients without such alteration (10.0 to not reached) (p=0.052).
Although we observed no difference in risk estimates for the association between solvent exposure and ALL risk, our analyses have shown that association between paint exposure and ALL risk was statistically significant for cases with chromosomal structural changes in leukemic cells (OR = 1.96; 95% CI, 1.24–3.10) but of borderline significance for those with numerical changes (OR = 1.48; 95% CI, 0.99–2.21).
Findings of post hoc sensitivity analyses for separate exposures (see Supplemental Results 2; Supplemental Tables 4 and 5), found that, in contrast to our main models, in relation to death anniversaries, the risk of suicidal behaviour for the suicide-bereaved group was elevated in the first 30 days after loss (although of borderline significance), thereby mirroring the elevated risk for the other-bereaved group.
