METHOD FOR ANALYSIS OF DNA METHYLATION PROFILES OF CELL-FREE CIRCULATING DNA IN BODILY FLUIDS

摘要

The invention can be summarized as follows. There is provided a method for analyzing DNA methylation profiles of cell-free DNA in body fluids by enriching a methylated or unmethylated fraction of DNA from cell-free DNA and subjecting the enriched DNA to microarray based methylome profiling and bioinformatics data analysis.
