Frequency of consistently hypermethylated CpG islands. Tumours were divided into CIMP groups, and every CpG island was scored for the number of times it was methylated in tumours from each CIMP group. To visualize the number of frequently hypermethylated CpG islands a threshold between 10 and 100% was used, whereby an island would only be counted if it was hypermethylated in more than the specified percentage of tumours. The frequency (Y axis) is the number of CpG islands that are methylated in more than the percentage threshold indicated on the X axis
