Methylation levels of multiple CpGs in HOXA9 and SOX17 genes. Methylation levels of 21 CpGs in HOXA9 gene (a) and of 18 CpGs in SOX17 gene (b) were analyzed across different kinds of samples. Colors indicate average methylation levels of individual CpGs in sputum from 12 lung cancer patients (LC_sputum), bronchial biopsies from 8 lung cancer patients (LC_biopsy), bronchial washing samples from 76 lung cancer patients (BW_cancer) and 60 healthy individuals (BW_control), and in 42 lung tumor (LC_tumor) and matched normal tissues (LC_normal)
