Methylation status of the PPP1R13L promoter region among lung cancer patients and healthy controls. Analytical cross-sectional study.

CONCLUSION: Our study on a Chinese population suggests that lung cancer patients have aberrant methylation status (hypomethylation tended to be more frequent) in peripheral blood leukocytes at several CpG sites in the PPP1R13L promoter region and that exposure to smoking may influence methylation status.
