Figure 1From: Quantitative methylation profiling in tumor and matched morphologically normal tissues from breast cancer patients (A) Cumulative percentage distribution of cancerous (black line) and normal (grey line) samples in function of number of methylated genes. The median number of hypermethylated genes was 3 in cancerous tissues and 1 in normal breast tissues (P < 0.001); (B) Cumulative percentage distribution of breast cancer tissues from patients ≥50 years (black line) and <50 years (grey line). The median number of hypermethylated genes was 3 in cancerous tissues from patients ≥50 years and 2 in cancerous tissues from patients <50 years (P = 0.006).Back to article page
