EPIGENETIC METHODS AND NUCLEIC ACIDS FOR THE DETECTION OF BREAST CELL PROLIFERATIVE DISORDERS

摘要

The present application provides methods and nucleic acids for the detection and differentiation of breast cell proliferative disorders. This is achieved by the analysis of the methylation of a panel of genes, or subsets thereof. The invention may be used for the detection and/or differentiation of a variety of tissue types including breast cancer and benign breast disorders as well as other cancers and tissue types.
