  1. The number of differentially hyper- and hypomethylated genes and percentage of neural-related genes are shown for all solid cancers. The false discovery rate (FDR) column gives Benjamini–Hochberg-adjusted P values for the enrichment of neural genes within hyper- and hypomethylation upon assessment with a Chi-squared test, compared to the expected amount based on the Infinium array annotation
