  1. Chr chromosome, CI confidence interval; Adjusted p value: Bonferroni-corrected p value; bolded (or italic) CpG sites are also top 10 significant associations in the separate START (or CHILD) analysis; bolded and italic sites were in the top 10 significant associations in both cohort specific analyses. Analyses were adjusted for maternal age, sex, study centre and cellular composition. Estimates are expressed as the change in methylation beta value per one unit change in gestational age in weeks
