  1. Abbreviation: FSIQ = standardized FSIQ; dFSIQ = Standardized + default FSIQ; cFSIQ = FSIQ corrected with the Whitaker and Gordon method; MOR, methylation output ratio; analyses conducted: aLinear regression unadjusted for age; bRobust regression unadjusted for age; cRobust regression adjusted for age; β, estimated regression coefficient; s.e., standard error. Note: all p-values reported are adjusted for multiple testing (FDR); p-values less than 0.05 are highlighted in bold.
