PIK3R1 methylation can predict survival in the TCGA pancreatic cancer cohort. (a) Probe location within the gene is shown (scheme is at scale). (b) Kaplan–Meier curve for OS (log-rank test). The cut-off value for cg15021292 was 0.6473, with sensitivity and specificity values of 75.60% and 87.50%, respectively. Patients with methylation levels inferior and superior to the cut-off were considered as lowly and highly methylated, respectively. (c) Comparison of methylation levels between normal and tumour tissue (mean ± SD; Mann–Whitney test). HR, hazard ratio.
