1Cognitive ability was measured in children using the Moray House Test (a test of general intelligence), and in adults using the National Adult Reading Test (a measure of crystallised intelligence) and Raven’s Matrices (a measure of fluid intelligence).
2Mean methylation across measured CpG sites within each imprint.
