METHOD AND NUCLEIC ACIDS FOR THE ANALYSIS OF ASTROCYTOMAS

摘要

The present invention relates to chemically modified genomic sequences, to oligonucleotides and/or PNA-oligomers for detecting the cytosine methylation state of genomic DNA, as well as to a method for ascertaining genetic and/or epigenetic parameters of genes for use in the characterisation, classification, differentiation, grading, staging, treatment and/or diagnosis of astrocytomas, or the predisposition to astrocytomas.
