RBP1 methylation by reduced representation bisulfite sequencing (RRBS), methylation-sensitive restriction enzyme (MSRE), and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) analysis*

IDH1 WT IDH1 MUT
Assay No. of patients No. of patients Mean methylation (SD) No. of patients Mean methylation (SD) Possible range Actual range P P
RRBS 10 5 0.05 (0.02) 5 0.68 (0.06) 0–1.0 0.01–0.81 <.001 .008
MSRE 31 15 4.05 (0.57) 16 7.82 (0.49) −9.19–21.75 1.68–10.95 <.001 <.001

* For RRBS and TCGA, the mean methylation represents the percentage of methylation in the region of interest. For MSRE, mean methylation represents standard deviations above known baseline (unmethylated) signal. IDH = isocitrate dehydrogenase; MUT = mutant; RBP1 = retinol binding protein 1; WT = wild type.

† Two-sided P was calculated by Student t test.

‡ Two-sided P was calculated by Wilcoxon test.
