a Adjusted for maternal age at delivery, race/ethnicity, maternal pre-pregnancy obesity, and smoking status during pregnancy.

bAll CpG sites listed are located in Chromosome 6.

cCpG sites listed were all associated with maternal pre-pregnancy BMI after accounting for multiple testing (q < 0.05). Associations between TAPBP gene CpGs and offspring BMI z-score and elevated blood pressure were not statistically significant after applying the Bonferroni test for multiple testing (female offspring p < 0.002 for 28 tests; male offspring p < 0.003 for 17 tests).

dCpGs were all located in the gene body of the TAPBP gene

Bold represents associations with p < 0.05.
