Abstract

Comparison of methylation and expression for genes associated with 315 differentially methylated sites in pilocytic and diffuse astrocytomas. Correlation coefficients are shown for differentially methylated CpG sites that show a difference of ≥2-fold in expression of the associated gene. Expression probes were only assessed if they were located within the mRNA transcript. A) CpG sites located within the promoter of the gene. B) CpG sites located within the gene body, 3’UTR and intergenic regions. As the CpG is not within a promoter, correlation was also calculated for a CpG site within the promoter (where possible within the TSS200; brown panel). For each correlation p-values and Benjamini-Hochberg corrected p-values are shown. The table is ordered by FDR-corrected p-values (sites with a p-value <0.05 are shown in blue). Positive correlation is highlighted in yellow. Up-regulated genes in diffuse astrocytomas are highlighted in green. When the expression probe was located in an exon, the probe for the full transcript was used for the correlation (indicated by the asterisk). (XLSX 85 kb
