Figure 4From: Prognostic relevance of Wnt-inhibitory factor-1 (WIF1) and Dickkopf-3 (DKK3) promoter methylation in human breast cancer Distribution of WIF1 and DKK3 promoter methylation in primary breast carcinomas. Methylation status of either gene has been determined by MSP in the same tumors. Of n = 150 breast cancer patients, the larger fraction reveals an identical methylation status of both genes (63.3%). In the remaining smaller fraction (36.6%), methylation of only one of the two genes could be detected. In total, WIF1 methylation was significantly associated with DKK3 methylation (p = 0.009; Fisher's exact test).Back to article page
