Fig. 1From: Aberrant DNA methylation of ADAMTS16 in colorectal and other epithelial cancersMethylation profile of the ADAMTS16 gene in a colorectal cancer (CRC), b lung cancer (LC) and c oral squamous-cell carcinoma (SCC) patients. Shown is the average methylation (mean β-value) of 53 different CpG sites in ADAMTS16. All three cancer entities show very similar methylations profiles. Hypermethylation was defined as ∆βmean ≥ 0.2 (P < 0.05), hypomethylation as ∆βmean ≤ − 0.2 (P < 0.05) and intermediate methylation as 0.1 ≤ |∆βmean| < 0.2 compared to the control (n = 117 (CRC), n = 40 (LC), n = 15 (SCC))Back to article page
