Table 4.

Methylation associated with index variants showing significant statistical interaction with cranial radiation therapy (CRT) for effect on body mass index (BMI). CpGs were identified as associated with index variants across the lifecourse in ARIES then associated with BMI in adult survivors of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia in the CCSS diagnosed 1970-1986.
