In a study, researchers found that LEPR methylation is associated with kidney cancer tumorgenesis, Wu explains.
Additionally, LEPR methylation levels were found to be significantly high in tumor tissue versus normal tissue. Additionally, these methylation levels are also associated with recurrence risk for kidney cancer as well as the clinical feature of the disease, Wu adds.
