Table 2. The methylation of the IFN-γ gene in normal cervical tissue, CIN and cervical cancer.
Group | Age (years old) | Methylation (n) | Methylation rate (%) |
---|---|---|---|
Control (n = 43) | 42.67 ± 10.61 | 2 | 4.7 |
CIN I (n = 23) | 43.32 ± 8.54 | 3 | 13.0 |
CIN II/III (n = 39) | 42.97 ± 9.48 | 6 | 15.4 |
Cancer (n = 43) | 44.39 ± 10.83 | 15 | 34.9 *, #, & |
P-Value | 0.367a | 0.003b |
a. ANOVA test, b. Fisher's exact test. Compared with control group, *P < 0.05; compared with CIN I group, #P < 0.05; compared with CIN II/III group, &P < 0.05.
