Figure 5.

Figure 5A comprises two graphs, namely, Discovery (EPIC) and Meta-analysis (450 K), plotting proportion of CpG Sites (y-axis), ranging between 0.00 and 1.00, across EPIC Array and FDR less than 0.05 and 450 K array and FDR less than 0.05 (x-axis), respectively, for relation to island comprising shelf, shore, island, and non-CpG island. Figure 5B is a graph plotting gene, promoter, enhancer, TFBS region, and DHS region (y-axis) across fold enrichment or depletion (x-axis), ranging between 0.2 and 2.5, for analysis comprising discovery and meta-analysis.

Enrichment of arsenic-associated CpGs among genomic features at false discovery rate  (FDR)  of  0.05. (A) Locational (with relation to island) distribution of log2-transformed arsenic-associated CpGs (FDR<0.05) from the Health Effects of Arsenic Longitudinal Study (HEALS) discovery analysis on EPIC array (n=34 CpGs) and meta-analysis of HEALS and the Bangladesh Vitamin E and Selenium Trial (BEST) (n=221 CpGs) compared with distribution of CpGs on entire EPIC (n=771,158) and 450K (n=390,589) array, respectively. Colors correspond to CpG relationship to island. (B) Fold enrichment (FE) is plotted for each genomic feature comparing urinary arsenic–associated CpGs below FDR of 0.05 to the remaining CpGs. CpGs annotating to a promoter region were defined as those annotating to TSS200 or TSS1500. Abbreviations correspond to transcription factor binding site (TFBS) and DNase I hypersensitive site (DHS). P-values were obtained from X2-test comparing distribution of CpGs above and below FDR of 0.05 for each genomic feature [p<0.05 (*), p<103 (**), and p<106 (***)].
