We identified 7 DMRs corresponding to 7 differentially methylated genes (DMGs) including HOXB4, HOXA7, HOXD8, ITGA4, ZNF808, PTGER4, and B3GNTL1 that were highly associated with lung cancer by comparing the methylation profiles of lung cancer and benign nodule tissue. Here, HOXD8 is linked to lung cancer.
