METRNL expression was reduced in the high methylation/high miR-107 (H/H) cohort as compared to the low methylation/low miR-107 (L/L) group for one methylation probe (cg01502876) and unchanged for the other methylation probe (cg03155999), suggesting that methylation of METRNL in cancer will reduce its expression in some cases (Fig. 3). The gene discussed is METRNL; the disease is cancer.
