  1. Differentially methylated positions (DMPs) identified using models of individual log2-transformed prenatal metal concentration adjusted for infant sex, race/ethnicity, gestational age (age at blood collection for mid-childhood models), nulliparous, maternal age at enrollment, pre-pregnancy BMI, education, smoking, household income, and estimated cord blood cell-type proportions (estimated in cord blood or from leukocytes in mid-childhood). Mean difference in % methylation determined using the same adjusted models for Beta-values for interpretation of results
