METHOD FOR DETERMINING PRESENCE OR ABSENCE OF CANCER CELL DERIVED FROM HEPATOCELLULAR CARCINOMA, AND DETERMINATION MARKER AND KIT

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for analyzing the state of methylation of a CpG site occurring in a promoter region for at least one gene selected from ACTG1, EPHA4 and TSC22D1 that are contained in DNA extracted from a biological sample and determining the presence or absence of a cancer cell derived from hepatocellular carcinoma on the basis of the results of the analysis. The present invention also relates to a determination maker and a kit, both of which can be used in the method.
