Fig. 2From: LINE-1 is preferentially hypomethylated within adenomatous polyps in the presence of synchronous colorectal cancerRelative 5-hmC of tubular polyps in patients without (N = 50) (0.0035 ± 0.0086) and with (N = 25) (0.0043 ± 0.0112) CRC (p = 0.712 by independent t test), compared to normal tissue from patients with (N = 35) and without (N = 17) CRC and tumor tissue. Normal tissue from patients without cancer had similar 5-hmC compared to normal tissue from patients with CRC (0.0461 ± 0.080 vs 0.039 ± 0.159, p = 0.215 by independent t test)Back to article page
