In CRC cases significantly reduced LINC00152 promoter DNA methylation was measured compared to normal (CpG1: p = 1.1 × 10− 13, Δmet%= -44%; CpG2: p = 1.8 × 10− 14, Δmet%= -43%) and adenoma samples (CpG1: p = 2.9 × 10− 11, Δmet%= -40%; CpG2: p = 9.8 × 10− 12, Δmet%= -39%). The gene discussed is CYTOR; the disease is colorectal carcinoma.
