METHYLATION MARKER FOR CERVICAL CANCER DIAGNOSIS

摘要

The present invention relates to a cervical cancer-specific methylation marker for diagnosis of cervical cancer, and more particularly, to a cervical cancer-specific methylation marker, the CpG island region of which is methylated specifically in cervical cancer cells. The use of the kit and nucleic acid chip for diagnosis of cervical cancer of the present invention enables diagnosis of cervical cancer at an initial transformation stage, thus making it possible to diagnose cervical cancer at an early stage. In addition, the invention makes it possible to predict progression for high-risk groups and screen cervical cancer in a more accurate and rapid manner compared to conventional methods.
