A significant number of the hypermethylated genes encode transcriptional factors and chromatin remodelers (KLF7, SLC2A4RG, TBX2, IRX2, GLI2, SOX8, YBX1, GABPB1, HDAC2, SIX1, RFX1, MKX, FOXD2, RUNX2, TLX2, TLX1), some already reported to be associated to colon cancer (49–51). This evidence concerns the gene SLC2A4RG and malignant colon neoplasm.
