DNA bisulfite conversion was performed utilizing a Zymo EZ-96 DNA Methylation Kit [40 ]. DNA methylation was assessed using an Illumina Infinium EPIC DNA Methylation Array on all 657 samples at the Avera Institute for Human Genetics [40 ]. The samples were fully randomized across arrays and run on an Illumina Infinium EPIC methylation array. Additionally, DNA methylation was assessed earlier on 83 of the same samples using an Illumina Infinium HumanMethylation450 array at the human genomics facility (Huge-F), Rotterdam, the Netherlands. Details including quality control of the HumanMethylation450 array data have been described previously [36 (link)].
