Fifty novel replicated differentially methylated CpGs associated with BMI sorted by <i>p-</i>value in the discovery cohorts.
<p>Fifty novel replicated differentially methylated CpGs associated with BMI sorted by <i>p-</i>value in the discovery cohorts.</p
Annotated genes of replicated differentially methylated CpGs identified in the BMI epigenome-wide association study.
<p>Genes are grouped by association with gene expression, association of gene expression with BMI, and Mendelian randomization analyses for causal support. Duplicate gene names within the same group are not shown. Figure does not include 18 intergenic CpGs without a gene annotation. BMI, body mass index; EWAS, epigenome-wide association study.</p
Study characteristics of the Framingham Heart Study and Lothian Birth Cohort participants (discovery cohorts) at the time of DNA methylation assays.

Manhattan plot.
<p>Association between MTHFR 677C>T (rs1801133) and genome-wide DNA methylation in 9,894 samples, with 35 <i>cis</i>-meQTLs at chromosome 1 (black/grey) and 1 <i>trans</i>-meQTL at chromosome 6 (green) with FDR<0.05.</p
Regional manhattan plot (chr1: 11824095–12184574).
<p>35 (black) and 16 (green) cis-meQTLs of the MTHFR 677C>T and GRS model respectively, in 9,894 samples. The overlap involved a small region of 238 kb (green rectangular line).</p
