Enrichment fold statistics and p values based on 1000 permutations are reported

aASD to DNAm association p value defined from meta-analysis

bSNP to CpG association p value thresholds

cp values in each methylation processing batch that allowed for 100% power to detect a 5% methylation difference with each addition of minor allele (see “Methods”)

dp values in each methylation processing batch that allowed for 90% power to detect same methylation difference

ep values in each methylation processing batch that allowed for 80% power to detect same methylation difference
