DNA METHYLATION ASSAY FOR THE DIAGNOSIS OR PROGNOSIS OF MEDICAL CONDITIONS

摘要

The present invention relates to methods for performing DNA methylation assays of biological samples for features associated with disease conditions. The method is carried out on 2-8 aliquots of the =sample. The extent of methylation is used in the prediction of a medical condition.
