Distinct promoter methylation patterns of LKB1 in the hamartomatous polyps of Peutz-Jeghers syndrome and its potential in gastrointestinal malignancy prediction

Table 1 Evaluation of the relationship between LKB1 promoter methylation level and gastrointestinal malignancies in PJS by Logistic regression

Variant	β	S.E	Wald	OR^a	95% CI	P value
LKB1 promoter methylation level	−0.47	0.20	5.467	0.954	0.918–0.992	0.038

^a OR was adjusted by age, gender, family history, LKB1 germline mutation, and polyp locations through forward conditional method
