Abstract

Provided herein is technology relating to detecting neoplasia and particularly, but not exclusively, to methods, compositions, and related uses for detecting premalignant and malignant neoplasms such as gastric cancer.

Claims (23)

1. A method comprising:

measuring a methylation level of a CpG site for three or more markers in a biological sample of a human individual through

treating genomic DNA in the biological sample with bisulfite;

amplifying the bisulfite-treated genomic DNA using primers specific for a CpG site for each of the three or more markers,

determining the methylation level of the CpG site for the three or more markers by methylation-specific PCR, quantitative methylation-specific PCR, methylation-sensitive DNA restriction enzyme analysis, quantitative bisulfite pyrosequencing, or bisulfite genomic sequencing PCR,

wherein the three or more markers are selected from ELMO1, ZNF569, C13orf18, CD1D, ARHGEF4, SFMBT2, PPP2R5C, CYP26C1, PKIA, CLEC11A, LRRC4, ST8SIA1, NDRG4 and FER1L4, wherein the three or more markers at least include SFMBT2, FER1L4, and ARHGEF4.

2. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the primers specific for ELMO1 are capable of binding an amplicon bound by SEQ ID Nos: 7 and 8 or SEQ ID Nos: 21 and 22 or SEQ ID Nos: 80 and 81;

wherein the primers specific for ZNF569 are capable of binding an amplicon bound by SEQ ID Nos: 11 and 12 or SEQ ID Nos: 86 and 87;

wherein the primers specific for C13orf18 are capable of binding an amplicon bound by SEQ ID Nos: 19 and 20 or SEQ ID Nos: 74 and 75;

wherein the primers specific for CD1D are capable of binding an amplicon bound by SEQ ID Nos: 3 or 4 or SEQ ID Nos: 39 and 40 or SEQ ID Nos: 98 and 99;

wherein the primers specific for ARHGEF4 are capable of binding an amplicon bound by SEQ ID Nos: 17 and 18 or SEQ ID Nos: 23 and 24 or SEQ ID Nos: 95 and 96;

wherein the primers specific for SFMBT2 are capable of binding an amplicon bound by SEQ ID Nos: 5 and 6 or SEQ ID Nos: 83 and 84;

wherein the primers specific for PPP2R5C are capable of binding an amplicon bound by SEQ ID Nos: 61 and 62 or SEQ ID Nos: 92 and 93;

wherein the primers specific for CYP26C1 are capable of binding an amplicon bound by SEQ ID Nos: 15 and 16 or SEQ ID Nos: 43 and 44 or SEQ ID Nos: 104 and 105;

wherein the primers specific for PKIA are capable of binding an amplicon bound by SEQ ID Nos: 49 and 50 or SEQ ID Nos: 71 and 72;

wherein the primers specific for CLEC11A are capable of binding an amplicon bound by SEQ ID Nos: 1 and 2 or SEQ ID Nos: 29 and 30 or SEQ ID Nos: 77 and 78; and

wherein the primers specific for LRRC4 are capable of binding an amplicon bound by SEQ ID Nos: 107 and 108;

wherein the primers specific for ST8SIA1 are capable of binding an amplicon bound by SEQ ID Nos: 13 and 14 or SEQ ID Nos: 101 and 102; and

wherein the primers specific for NDRG4 are capable of binding an amplicon bound by SEQ ID Nos: 57 and 58.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the biological sample is a tissue sample, a stool sample, a urine sample, a blood sample, a plasma sample, and/or a serum sample.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein said CpG site is present in a coding region or a regulatory region.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein said measuring the methylation level of the CpG site for the three or more markers comprises a determination selected from the group consisting of determining the methylation score of said CpG site and determining the methylation frequency of said CpG site.
