Comparison of estimates of the effect of maternal and paternal BMI on newborn DNA methylation. Of the 86 sites where maternal BMI at the start of pregnancy was associated with newborn blood methylation, we found 20 sites (plotted here) where the estimated effect of maternal BMI, adjusted for paternal BMI, had a P-value < 0.05 and was in the same direction and greater than the estimated effect of paternal BMI, adjusted for maternal BMI. Sites are ordered by P-value in the full maternal BMI meta-analysis.
