METHOD FOR DETECTING THE METHYLATION OF COLON-CANCER-SPECIFIC METHYLATION MARKER GENES FOR COLON CANCER DIAGNOSIS

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for detecting the methylation of colon-cancer-specific methylation marker genes for colon cancer diagnosis, and more particularly, to a method which involves detecting the methylation of colon-cancer-specific methylation marker genes which are specifically methylated in colon cancer cells, and providing information for colon cancer diagnosis. Using the methylation detection method, and a composition, a kit and a nucleic acid chip for diagnosis according to the present invention, colon cancer can be diagnosed in an early transformation stage to enable the early diagnosis of colon cancer. The method of the present invention enables the diagnosis of colon cancer to be performed in a more accurate and quick manner as compared to conventional methods, and therefore can be effectively used.
