ASCL2 and nonpapillary renal cell carcinoma: Then, the DNA methylation status of 193 CpG units including 299 CpG sites in the remaining 14 ccRCC-specific CIMP marker genes, i.e. FAM150A, GRM6, ZNF540, ZFP42, ZNF154, RIMS4, PCDHAC1, KHDRBS2, ASCL2, PRAC, WNT3A, TRH, ZNF671 and SLC13A5, was evaluated quantitatively using the MassARRAY system.
