Statistically significantly different methylation rates were observed for ID4-2 (p = 0.011), DCL1 (p = 0.019), BNIP3 (p = 0.003), H2AFX (p = 0.001), H2AFX-2 (p = 0.005), CACNA1G (p = 0.007) and TIMP3 (p = 0.021) when comparing squamous versus adenocarcinoma cases. Here, BNIP3 is linked to adenocarcinoma.
