The methylation of ZNF132 gene and control gene in ESCC

Gene name	Mean (case)	Mean (control)	P valuea	P valueb	Sensitivity	Specificity	Area Under the curve (AUC)
ZNF132	0.36	0.11	2.2 × 10−16	2.2 × 10−16	70.8%	80.6%	0.82
LINE-1	0.55	0.73	2.16 × 10−8
ChrM	0.03	0.02	2.59 × 10−1

^aP value is calculated through the Wilcoxon's rank-sum test followed by FDR (false discovery rate) adjustment for multiple correction

^bP value determined by logistic regression
