Fig. 4.
Hepatic DNA methylation levels from initial biopsies of non-progressors (no increase in stage of fibrosis) and progressors (≥1 stage increase in severity of fibrosis). Boxes and bars represent the means and standard error, respectively. Cytosine methylation at HDAC4 (a, b), HOXA2 (c) and PPP1R18 (d) genes did not differ significantly between the two groups
