  1. Adjusted for maternal and paternal race, maternal education, maternal smoking, maternal pre-pregnancy BMI, maternal age, and gestational age. DNA methylation measured in tertiles, comparing low and high methylation to moderate methylation
  2. *p < 0.05. **Statistically significant after Bonferroni correction (p < 0.006)
