Figure Lengend Snippet: DNA methylation summary characteristics of lymphoma and of healthy B and GCB cells. ( a ) The frequency distribution of the promoter methylation beta values of B-cells shows two maxima referring to almost not- and completely methylated promoters, respectively; The distributions of beta values loose this bimodality to a large degree in lymphoma where weakly and intermediately methylated genes become hyper-methylated and highly methylated genes become hypo-methylated compared with healthy B-cells ( b + c ); ( d ) The total methylation level increases and ( e ) the variability of methylation among the genes in each of the samples decreases.
Article Snippet: Microarray-derived DNA methylation data (GoldenGate Methylation Cancer Panel I; Illumina, San Diego, CA) of in total 133 samples obtained from hematological neoplasms and reference systems were taken from [ ] in terms of beta values of 1410 CpG’s located in the range of −1500 bp to +500 bp around the transcription start site of 768 genes thus serving as markers for their promoter methylation.
