Another relevant study examining aberrant DNA methylation of DAPK, p-16, MGMT and Hyperpigmentation, Progressive, 1 (HPP1) genes in 26 thymomas and 6 TC described the frequency of aberrant DNA methylation to correlate with the histopathologic TEN type and to be, consequently, higher in TC than thymoma [48]. This evidence concerns the gene MGMT and thymoma.
