Figure 7 MethyLight analysis in gastric cancer tissues. A: Results of the CRABP1 gene are shown. Bisulfite-converted DNA was used for quantitative methylation-specific PCR. The amount of hypermethylated DNA was determined by reading the midpoint of the linear portion of the S-shaped real-time curves, called the Ct point or threshold cycle. The Ct refers to the number of cycles it takes a sample to reach a specific fluorescence threshold; B: DNA methylation frequencies based on each individual marker.
