Table II.

Summary of the top five most significant networks and pathways inferred by IPA.

Network functions IPA score Number of genes found
Cancer, cell morphology, cell-to-cell signaling and interaction 43 33
Cell death and survival, inflammatory response, cellular development 32 28
Gene expression, cellular function and maintenance, developmental disorder 32 28
Cell cycle, embryonic development, cellular assembly and organization 30 27
Cell cycle, cancer, hematological disease 25 24

Significant genes were determined by significant methylation differences in the promoters of genes. Summed beta values of the probes in the TSS200 region of promoters were used for the Wilcoxon ranked test at the transcript level. A gene was defined significantly methylated if P < 0.05 after Bonferroni correction. IPA scores are negative log P-values, and higher IPA scores indicate more significance.
