Associations between placental LEP DNA methylation levels and markers of childhood adiposity.

CpG Sites	BMI z-Scores	Sum of Skinfold Thickness	Ratio of Skinfold Thickness
cg15758240	β = −0.391 p = 0.82	β = 9.076 p = 0.21	β = −0.581 p = 0.05
cg05136031	β = −2.687 p = 0.05	β = −1.441 p = 0.80	β = −0.083 p = 0.72
cg23341058	β = 0.019 p = 0.62	β = 3.407 p = 0.35	β = 0.015 p = 0.92

The sum of skinfold thickness was computed with SS + TR, whereas the ratio is SS:TR. Significant results when p ≤ 0.05. All models were adjusted for gestational age at delivery, sex of the offspring, age at follow-up, and cellular heterogeneity.
