The methylation status of the KRT23 promoter was assessed in 40 colon tissue samples (six normal mucosa, six adenoma, five MSI and 23 MSS adenocarcinoma tissues) using Illumina Bead arrays interrogating CG-sites at position cg06378617 and cg22392708 located in the KRT23 promoter (Figure A in Figure S1 in File S1). Here, KRT23 is linked to adenocarcinoma.
