AXL and cancer: We identified one novel epigenome-wide significant pan-cancer DMP at a FDR threshold of 10 %, located in an intergenic region upstream of a known tumour suppressor gene SASH1, and three suggestive pan-cancer-associated signals in the genes COL11A2 and AXL, and in LINC00340, two of which have previously been linked to cancer (AXL, LINC00340).
