#Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

††Forced expiratory volume in one second.

Genomic features were based on Illumina's Annotation file and those for DMRs were based on CpGs at start and end position of each region. Categories for the features includes (1) body, gene body; (2) 5′UTR, 5 prime untranslated region; (3) 3′UTR, 3 prime untranslated region; (4) TSS200, 200 basepair within transcription start site; (5) TSS1500, 1500 basepair within transcription start site; and (6) DHS, DNase I hypersensitivity site.

Differentially methylated probes or regions in this Table were located inside each mapped gene.

COPD: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; DHS: DNaseI hypersensitivity site; FEV: Forced expiratory volume in 1 second; FVC: Forced vital capacity.
