A method for the detection of cytosine methylations in genomic DNA is disclosed, whereby genomic DNA samples are firstly reacted with a chemical reagent, whereupon 5-methylcytosine and cytosine react differently and thus display a different base pair relationship in the DNA duplex after said reaction. The pre-treated DNA is then amplified by means of a polymerase and at least one primer oligonucleotide and the amplified material once again reacted with a chemical reagent as above. The cytosine bases and/or guanine bases remaining in the amplified material after the renewed chemical treatment are detected in the final step.

L'invention concerne un procédé permettant de détecter la méthylation de la cytosine dans l'ADN génomique. Selon ledit procédé, on fait d'abord réagir chimiquement l'échantillon d'ADN génomique avec un réactif, la 5-méthylcytosine et la cytosine réagissant de façon différente et présentant ainsi, après la réaction, des comportements d'appariement des bases différents dans le duplex d'ADN. Ensuite, on amplifie l'ADN prétraité au moyen d'une polymérase et d'au moins un oligonucléotide amorce, et l'on fait réagir le produit de cette amplification chimiquement avec un réactif, comme ci-dessus. Les bases du type cytosine et/ou guanine restant après ce nouveau traitement chimique sont, dans une dernière étape, détectées.
