CpG IDs with bold font were selected for validation by next generation bisulfite sequencing
effect size is on the scale of M values in the linear regression model; in the primary analysis, the effect size is M value changes per 1 unit of log2(BDE) increase (per doubling of PBDE concentration); in the secondary analysis, the effect size is the mean M value difference between two sample groups determined by the 25% and 75% BDE percentiles
In the linear regression model, M value methylation = BDE + covariates, BDE was either a continuous predictor variable log2(BDE) in the primary analysis or a categorical variable (two sample groups determined by 25% and 75% BDE percentiles) in the secondary analysis.
