We examined whether DFNA5 methylation is associated with DFNA5 expression, first by calculating the spearman correlation coefficient for DFNA5 expression and methylation for each of the individual 22 CpGs and secondly by fitting a stepwise backward linear regression of the expression data on all 22 CpG methylation values for both breast adenocarcinoma and normal breast samples. This evidence concerns the gene GSDME and breast adenocarcinoma.
