Aberrant Methylation in Promoters of GSTP1, p16, p14, and RASSF1A Genes in Smokers of North India

Figure 3

Aberrant gene methylation in smokers and nonsmokers. What shown on -axis is the methylation rate percentage of methylation-positive cases (%) for each of the four genes indicated on the -axis. The methylation rate of the GSTP1, p16 ( ), and RASSF1A ( ) genes is significantly higher in the smokers group than the nonsmoker group. The methylation rate for p14 shows higher trend for smokers but does not reach statistical significance.
