  text: 'Linking epigenetic marks to clinical outcomes improves insight into molecular
    processes, disease prediction, and therapeutic target identification. Here, a
    statistical approach is presented to infer the epigenetic architecture of complex
    disease, determine the variation captured by epigenetic effects, and estimate
    phenotype-epigenetic probe associations jointly. Implicitly adjusting for probe
    correlations, data structure (cell-count or relatedness), and single-nucleotide
    polymorphism (SNP) marker effects, improves association estimates and in 9,448
    individuals, 75.7% (95% CI 71.70–79.3) of body mass index (BMI) variation and
    45.6% (95% CI 37.3–51.9) of cigarette consumption variation was captured by whole
    blood methylation array data. Pathway-linked probes of blood cholesterol, lipid
    transport and sterol metabolism for BMI, and xenobiotic stimuli response for smoking,
    showed >1.5 times larger associations with >95% posterior inclusion probability.
    Prediction accuracy improved by 28.7% for BMI and 10.2% for smoking over a LASSO
    model, with age-, and tissue-specificity, implying associations are a phenotypic
    consequence rather than causal. '
