Here, we leverage multiple independent primary and metastatic prostate cancer cohorts to demonstrate that FASN gene body methylation is highly inversely correlated with FASN gene and protein expression. This finding may shed light on epigenetic mechanisms of FASN regulation in prostate cancer and provides a potentially useful biomarker for selecting patients in future trials of FASN inhibitors.
