Fig. 3From: DNA methylation profiling identifies novel markers of progression in hepatitis B-related chronic liver disease Plots were demonstrated as the correlation between the CpG methylation and severity of the liver disease. The analysis compares hepatic DNA methylation level in F0-2 with F3-6 according to Ishak staging. Horizontal bars represent the means and 95 % confidence interval. Higher hepatic HDAC4 (a, b) and HOXA2 (c) methylation and lower PPP1R18 (d) methylation indicates advanced necroinflammation and fibrosisBack to article page
