METHOD FOR DETECTING METHYLATION OF BREAST CANCER-SPECIFIC METHYLATION MARKER GENE FOR BREAST CANCER DIAGNOSIS

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for detecting the methylation of a breast cancer-specific methylation marker gene for breast cancer diagnosis, and more particularly, to a method which involves detecting methylation of a breast cancer-specific methylation marker gene which is methylated specifically in a breast cancer cell, and provides information for the diagnosis of breast cancer or the stage of progression of breast cancer. When the methylation detection method of the present invention is used together with a diagnosis composition, a kit, and a nucleic acid chip, more accurate and quicker early diagnosis of breast cancer can be facilitated as compared to conventional methods, the stage of progression of breast cancer can be checked, and a non-invasive serum sample is made available, to thereby diagnose breast cancer in a more simple and accurate manner.
