Figure 3.

Figure 3 is a scatterplot plotting direction of effect plus or minus times negative log sub 10 for HEALS water arsenic group (y-axis), ranging between negative 14 and 10, across direction of effect plus or minus times negative log sub 10 for HEALS urinary Arsenic group (x-axis), ranging between negative 14 and 10.

Comparison between the associations of urinary arsenic and water arsenic with genome-wide methylation in the Health Effects of Arsenic Longitudinal Study (HEALS). The direction of association and log10(p) for each CpG–arsenic association are plotted for urinary (x-axis) and water (y-axis) (both log2  transformed). Solid lines and dashed lines designate log10(p=1) and log10(p=0.05), respectively. CpGs highlighted in blue diamonds denote log2-transformed urinary arsenic–associated sites [false discovery rate  (FDR)<0.05]. Pearson’s correlation between all urinary and water arsenic CpG associations was 0.67 (p<1016).
