Methylation levels (β) of CpGs in subjects who were exposed to childhood adversity (+CA).
Methylation levels (β) of CpGs in subjects who were not exposed to childhood adversity (−CA).
Padj was the adjusted P value calculated using multivariate linear regression analysis with adjustment of sex, age, ancestry proportion.
Padj survived Bonferroni corrections.
