Bisulphite converted DNA from the 944 samples were hybridised to the Illumina Infinium HumanMethylation850 BeadChip; raw data (preQC folder->raw idats folder; Phenotype_file_944preQC.csv), processed files (betas_normalised.csv, pheno.csv). Overlapping samples (N=233) had methylation data on two DNA methylation arrays -EPIC and 450K, we compared the methylation profiles of these samples to assess the correlation between the two arrays using two strategies: -(1)When these samples were normalized together (raw files for EPIC array data are in preQC folder->raw idats folder; Overlaping_probes_normalised_together_450K_EPIC_pheno.csv, raw idats for 450K are in folder raw_idats_450k, processed betas for both arrays file (Overlaping_probes_normalised_together_450K_EPIC_betas.csv) (2) When these samples were normalized separately - only overlapping probes on both arrays for the common samples were analysed - processed betas file for 450K array (Overlaping_probes_normalised_seperately_450K_betas.csv, Overlaping_probes_normalised_seperately_450K_pheno.csv) and EPIC array (Overlaping_probes_normalised_seperately_EPIC_betas.csv, Overlaping_probes_normalised_seperately_EPIC_pheno.csv).
