The frequencies of the top three hypermethylated genes in available patient tissues (n = 141) and plasma samples (n = 106) were 41.8% and 38.7%, respectively, for ADAM19; 40.4% and 42.5%, respectively, for FLI1; and 56.7% and 50.9%, respectively, for MSC. In both tissue and plasma samples, FLI1 hypermethylation was associated with more advanced GC and liver and distant lymphatic metastasis, and ADAM19 hypermethylation was associated with more stage IV GC. Here, ADAM19 is linked to metastasis.
