(A) Classifier trained on 5hmC levels in enhancer regions shows equivalent performance on the training (dotted line) and validation sets (solid line) and high performance across all CRC stages versus controls, with AUCs ranging from 88.6 to 93.6%. Cut-of-values are reported in Supp. Table 1. (B) The IchorCNA tumor fraction was positively correlated with tumor stage in validation samples. The correlation with the CRC classifier score was lower in early-stage samples (stages 1 and 2), with higher p-values than in later-stage samples. (C) CRC classifier score on validation samples with ichorCNA values ≤ 3% tumor fraction, demonstrating that the 5hmC-based classifier maintains robust performance on samples with a low tumor fraction. The corresponding table presents the percentage of samples on either side of the classification threshold (0.5), demonstrating that the classifier performs similarly across CRC stages. (D) The top significant biological pathways identified that relate to the pathway relationship of genes regulated by enhancer features in the 5hmC classifier indicate a global immune response to tumorigenesis.
