Cox regression analysis demonstrated a significant association between the methylation levels of 187 sites and overall survival in TET patients, where cg05784862 (KSR1), cg07154254 (ELF3), cg02543462 (ILRN), and cg06288355 (RAG1) emerged as independent prognostic factors [42]. Here, ELF3 is linked to thymic epithelial neoplasm.
