Figure 1

(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).
