In order to provide a method for detecting an unfavorable prognostic risk of renal cell carcinoma easily with quite high sensitivity and specificity, a methylome analysis was performed on normal renal tissues, and non-cancerous tissues and renal cell carcinomas derived from patients with renal cell carcinomas. The result revealed that it was possible to detect an unfavorable prognostic risk of renal cell carcinoma by detecting a DNA methylation level at at least one CpG site of FAM150A, GRM6, ZNF540, ZFP42, ZNF154, RIMS4, PCDHAC1, KHDRBS2, ASCL2, KCNQ1, PRAC, WNT3A, TRH, FAM78A, ZNF671, SLC13A5, and NKX6-2 genes. |
