Figure 3 Methylation of zc3h12d in patients with LUAD. (A) The heat map of DNA methylation clustered expression of zc3h12d in LUAD. Red to blue scale indicates high to low expression. Various colorful side boxes were used to characterize the ethnicity, race, age, event, and relation to UCSC_CpG_island and UCSC_refGene_Group. (B) Promoter methylation of the zc3h12d gene is significantly downregulated in LUAD.
