Use of the methylated site of the Y chromosome as a diagnostic marker for prostate cancer

摘要

The present invention relates to the use of a methylated site as a marker for disease diagnosis, and specifically relates to the use of a methylated site of a Y chromosome as a diagnostic marker for prostate cancer. More specifically, the present invention establishes a method and criteria for screening chromosomal methylation sites associated with disease, and, using prostate cancer as an example, six Y chromosome methylation sites associated with prostate cancer diagnosis. Were screened. The screened methylation site of the Y chromosome can be used for early and rapid diagnosis of the disease as a diagnostic marker for prostate cancer.
