ROR2 and malignant colon neoplasm: To study the possible aberrant epigenetic regulation of ROR2 in colon cancer, we used bisulphite sequencing of multiple clones to determine the methylation status of a ROR2 promoter DNA region of 315 bp that spans the ROR2 transcriptional start point in healthy colon tissue, in vitro-growing colonocytes and eight colon cancer cell lines (HCT116, SW480, LOVO, HT29, HCT15, DLD1, COLO205 and RKO) (Figure 1A).
