a

No significant correlation of hypermethylation of Wnt inhibitors with age and haemoglobin level, which were not shown in this table.

b

Hypermethylation of any Wnt inhibitors including SFRP, Wif-1, and DKK1.

c

Hypermethylation of any SFRP gene including SFRP1, SFRP2, SFRP4, and SFRP5.

d

Gender (correlation with male); white blood cells, blast, platelet, and LDH (correlation with high level).
