Table 6. LINE-1 methylation in hereditary and sporadic CRC tumors.

Mean Rank value when applying the Kruskal-Wallis test. P values for comparison between MSS HNPCC and the other types of CRC, using the Mann-Witney U test. We performed a total of 3 comparisons, therefore differences were statistically significant when be P<(.05/3)=<.017.

	Mean % LINE1 methylation	Mean Rank	P
MSS HNPCC	60.08 (21)	56.05
Lynch syndrome	66.29 (20)	94.80	0.015
MSI sporadic	67.27 (45)	105.41	0.001
