Note: MWAS, methylome-wide association studies. N indicates number of individuals. Age is given in years. Sex is coded 0 = female and 1 = male. Postmortem interval (PMI) is the time that elapsed between mortem and the collection of the biological sample. Because of screening, 0% of the validation samples have Finnish or non-Nordic Parents. Different tests are done on contingency table (chi-square test) for categorical variables and means for continuous variables (T test).

aThis table is limited to a set of overlapping variables and supplementary table S1 provides more details in each of the samples.
