Fig. 3: Variance in height explained (R2) by SOCS3 methylation and PRS.

Longitudinal effects of height PRS and SOCS3m in the MPC cohort, showing percentage of variance apportioned between SOCS3m (mean methylation across all three SOCS3 CpGs measured at 5 years) and height PRS across different time points from birth to early adulthood. Y axis shows the R2 from ANOVA models including both mean SOCS3m and height PRS. Error bars indicate 95% confidence intervals for R2 derived from N = 1000 bootstrap samples.
