  1. Models are adjusted for chip position, recruitment centre, the five percentages of leukocyte subtypes and age at recruitment, menopausal status and BC status
  2. aAlso adjusted for batch and sample position
  3. bNumber of significant sites for smoking status after p values FDR correction
  4. cNumber (and percentage) of significant sites identified by the CHARGE meta-analysis
