Besides the detection of promoter DNA methylation changes, in order to explore the role of copy number variation (CNV) of LINC00152 gene as a potential phenomenon behind the LINC00152 expression alterations in colorectal tumours, we have performed parallel analyses of LINC00152 expression, promoter DNA methylation and CNV of its coding gene on GDC TCGA COAD (Colon Adenocarcinoma) data set. Here, CYTOR is linked to colon adenocarcinoma.
