METHOD FOR ASSISTING DIAGNOSIS OF ONSET RISK OF GASTRIC CANCER, AND ARTIFICIAL DNA AND KIT FOR DIAGNOSING ONSET RISK OF GASTRIC CANCER USED IN THE METHOD

摘要

Disclosed is a method for assisting diagnosis of onset risk of gastric cancer in a subject, comprising steps of analyzing a methylation status of a CpG site present in a genetic region of a gene contained in a DNA sample of the subject, and obtaining information on the onset risk of gastric cancer in the subject, based on the result obtained in the analysis step, wherein the DNA sample is prepared from a non-cancerous sample collected from a subject having experience of Helicobacter pylori infection, and the gene is at least one selected from the group consisting of BHLHE22 gene, GUSBP5 gene, RIMS1 gene, LINC00643 gene, FGF12 gene, FLT3 gene, RPRM gene, JAM2 gene, SEPT9 gene, and STX16 gene.
