Methods for determining methylation of the TWIST1 gene for bladder cancer detection
Abstract:
Disclosed are methods of detecting a predisposition to, or the incidence of, bladder cancer in a sample comprising detecting an epigenetic change, such as methylation, in at least one gene selected from TWIST1, NID2, RUNX3, BMP7, CCNA1, PDLIM4, TNFRSF25, APC, RASSF1A, LOXL1, TUBB4, NTRK2, ARFGAP3, OSMR and TJP2, or a panel thereof. Also disclosed are kits for performing the disclosed methods, such as kits for detecting a predisposition to, or the incidence of, bladder cancer in a sample comprising at least one primer pair for determining the methylation status of each of NID2, TWIST1 and RUNX3. The kits may contain means for processing a urine sample.
