Relationship between KvDMR1 methylation and imprinting in HCC samples

Gene	Ratio*	HCCKvDMR1 methylation†		Fisher exact test probability‡
		P = M	P > M
SLC22A1L	Abnormal	2	2	0.51
	Normal	6	3
CDKN1C	Abnormal	0	6	0.035
	Normal	2	0
IGF2	Abnormal	1	4	0.039
	Normal	4	0

^*Abnormal ratio indicates the detection of GOI, LOI or INV. Normal ratio indicates the presence of the same allelic expression pattern in normal and matched HCC. 

^†P, paternal pattern of methylation; M, maternal pattern of methylation. 

^‡ Probability <0.05 is statistically significant.
