  1. There were 734 functional groups tested. The first 12 functional groups with the smallest p values are listed here. The mean of log ratios between trisomy 21 and euploid controls for each functional group was compared to that for the group of remaining probe sets not assigned to that functional group ('non-group members'). After one type of multiple test comparison correction, the cut-off level for statistical significance was 6.81E-05 (assigned by dividing 0.05 by the number of functional groups, 734).
