Epigenetic Silencing of SOX15 Is Controlled by miRNAs rather than Methylation in Papillary Thyroid Cancer

Table 3

Correlation between SOX15 mRNA expression and promoter methylation.

		SOX15 expression; (%)
		Increase	Decrease	No change
Methylation	Increase	4 (9.1)	9 (20.5)	3 (6.8)	0.162
	Decrease	1 (2.3)	8 (18.2)	0 (0)
	No change	5 (11.4)	13 (29.5)	1 (2.3)
