CpG array probe names were associated with gene IDs (UCSC Genome Browser). All array data was normalized to the internal sheered standard and control data was compared to experimental data for differential methylation using ratios. Reported significant differences were defined by >2-fold change, -test (). The resulting changes in methylation for exposures were 11 for VPA (5 down, 6 up), 25 for Mn (7 down, 18 up), and 20 for Pb (6 down, 14 up).
