In patient samples, single CpG methylation at position 15,212,066 (cg02268561 beta values) showed significant inverse correlation with NMT2 expression in DLBCL, acute myeloid leukemia (AML), and breast cancers (p < 0.05) and occurred in two of the five DLBCL tumors tested (Fig. 2C, Additional file 1: Fig. S9). Here, NMT2 is linked to acute myeloid leukemia.
