Table 5. Concordance between differential methylation and differential expression.
Cancer types | Hypermethylation | Hypomethylation | ||||
Gene§ number | Concordance rate | P value | Gene§number | Concordance rate | P value | |
Colon | 107 | 91.6% | 7.7*10−9 | 157 | 50.3% | 0.99 |
Kidney | 254 | 86.6% | 1.5*10−12 | 302 | 39.4% | 0.397 |
Lung | 34 | 88.2% | 1.5*10−6 | 88 | 62.5% | 4.2*10−6 |
Gene number denotes the number of hypermethylated (or hypomethylated) genes which were determined to be differentially expressed in the expression data.
