  1. 1Coefficients for 1 standard deviation alcohol intake (SD = 11.8)
  2. 2False discovery rate (FDR) adjusted p values
  3. 3Percentage of methylation change for an increase of 1 SD increase of alcohol intake
  4. 4Gene region feature category describing the CpG position, from UCSC. TSS200 200 bases upstream of the transcriptional start site (TSS); TSS1500 1500 bases upstream of the TSS; 5′UTR within the 5′ untranslated region, between the TSS and the ATG start site; body between the ATG and stop codon irrespective of the presence of introns, exons, TSS, or promoters; 3′UTR between the stop codon and poly A signal
  5. 5The location of the CpG relative to the CpG island. Shore 0–2 kb from island, Shelf 2–4 kb from island, N upstream (5′) of CpG island, S downstream (3′) of CpG island, open sea isolated CpGs in the genome
