a Complementary cumulative distribution function of the out-of-sample variance explained by the full model, blood cell composition, genetic factors, intrinsic factors (i.e., age and sex) and environmental exposures (i.e., smoking, CMV infection and CRP levels), for 644,517 CpG sites. b Complementary cumulative distribution function of the out-of-sample variance explained by genetic factors, intrinsic factors, environmental exposures and gene × environment (G × E) interactions, when conditioning on blood cell composition, for 644,517 CpG sites. c Proportion of the explained out-of-sample variance of 5mC levels for the 20,000 CpG sites with the variance most explained by blood cell composition, genetic factors, intrinsic factors and environmental exposures, respectively.
