Table 3 Partial correlation analysis for miRNA-targeted cancer gene expression with miRNA hits, CpG methylation and histone modifications
From: Insights into the miRNA regulations in human disease genes
Factors | Partial correlation for disease gene expression | Level of Significance |
|---|---|---|
Number of miRNA hits | −0.345 (controlling CpG methylation ratio and histone modification rate) | 1.6 × 10−2 |
CpG methylation ratio | 0.169 (controlling histone modification and miRNA hits) | 2.5 × 10−1 |
Histone modification rate | 0.143 (controlling miRNA hits and CpG methylation ratio) | 3.3 × 10−1 |
