Certain genes showed relatively high DNA methylation levels in both biopsies and epithelial cells in adenoma and cancer cases, as PRIMA1, SFRP1, SFRP2, MAL, SOCS3, CYP27B1, COL1A2 and SULT1A1. THBS2 showed high methylation levels across all samples. The gene discussed is PRIMA1; the disease is cancer.
