In this study, we investigated for the first time NALCN promoter methylation in (a) Aza-treated cell lines (A549, TE671, BT20, and MDA-MB-468), (b) paired NSCLC tissues (n = 22), and (c) plasma cell-free DNA (ctDNA) from patients with NSCLC (early stage n = 39, metastatic n = 39) and DNA from 10 healthy donors (HD) using a newly developed highly specific and sensitive real-time MSP method. This evidence concerns the gene NALCN and non-small cell lung carcinoma.
