Note: Top 20 CpG sites are based on adjusted p-values, which are listed from smallest p-value to largest p-value. Beta coefficients and p-values were obtained using beta regression (see “Methods” section). Results for all FDR-significant CpGs are provided in Excel Table S1. Table 2 and Excel Table S1 show results for all FDR-significant CpGs. Model-based estimates were derived from beta regression investigating the association between methylation of umbilical cord blood from infants and secondhand smoke exposure from maternal plasma cotinine. These models were adjusted for race/ethnicity, mother’s age at delivery, maternal education, and parity, as well as technical covariates (e.g., plate, row, column), and Houseman-estimated cell proportions. The resulting p-values were corrected using Benjamini and Hochberg’s FDR method, with CpG sites with FDR considered statistically significant. Exposure contrasts for the coefficients indicate change in relation to increase in cotinine from maternal plasma. “Chr” makes reference to the chromosome number.
