Assessing the co-variability of DNA methylation across peripheral cells and tissues: Implications for the interpretation of findings in epigenetic epidemiology

Fig 3

Smoking scores derived from DNA methylation data vary across different sample types from the same individual.

A) Boxplots of estimated exposure to tobacco smoking grouped by cell or tissue type. Smoking score predictions for each sample-type had a mean range of 12.1 (SD = 4.24). B) Boxplots of estimated exposure to tobacco smoking grouped by individual, where the color indicates the value derived from a specific sample type. Smoking score predictions for each individual had a mean range of 11.5 (SD = 6.21).
