PROCEDURE AND NUCLEIC ACIDS FOR THE ANALYSIS OF A PROLIFERATIVE DISORDER OF COLON CELLS.

摘要

A method for detecting and differentiating between proliferative disorders of colon cells comprising the following steps: a) providing a sample of body fluid containing genomic DNA, b) extracting said genomic DNA, c) converting the cytosine bases of said genomic DNA sample that are demethylated in position 5, by treatment, in uracil or in another base that is different from cytosine in terms of the behavior in base pairing and d) identify the methylation status of one or more cytosine positions of the TPEF gene and / or its regulatory regions.
