We conducted two follow-up analyses in light of the findings above. First, we unpacked the Factor 2 methylation-CU association at birth in the INT− group. We examined the three probes included in Factor 2 individually. DNA methylation at birth prospectively associated with CU traits for probe cg04523291 (Std B = .46, B = 4.61; bootstrapped 95% CI = .32 – 8.52) and probe cg15317815 (Std B = .46, B = 3.97; bootstrapped 95% CI = .76 – 8.05), but not for probe cg02192228 (Std B = .34, B = 4.10; bootstrapped 95% CI = −2.60 – 10.46).
