The invention relates to a method for detecting 5-methylcytosine in genomic DNA samples. Firstly, a genomic DNA from a DNA sample is chemically reacted with a reagent, whereby 5-methylcytosine and cytosine react differently. Afterwards, the pretreated DNA is amplified while using a polymerase and at least one primer. In the next step, the amplified genomic DNA is hybridized to at least one oligonucleotide while forming a duplex, and the same is lengthened by at least one nucleotide, whereby the nucleotide carries a detectable tagging, and the lengthening is subject to the methylation status of the respective cytosine in the genomic DNA sample. In the following step, the lengthened oligonucleotides are examined for the presence of the tagging.

L'invention concerne un procédé permettant de mettre en évidence la présence de 5-méthylcytosine dans des échantillons d'ADN génomiques. Dans un premier temps, un ADN génomique issu d'un échantillon d'ADN est mis à réagir chimiquement avec un réactif, la 5-méthylcytosine et la cytosine réagissant différemment. L'ADN prétraité est ensuite amplifié à l'aide d'au moins une polymérase et d'au moins une amorce. A l'étape suivante, l'ADN génomique amplifié est hybridé sur au moins un oligonucléotide de manière à former une double hélice, celui-ci étant prolongé d'au moins un nucléotide. Ledit nucléotide porte un repère identifiable et la prolongation dépend du statut de méthylation de chaque cytosine dans l'échantillon d'ADN génomique. A l'étape suivante, les oligonucléotides prolongés sont examinés afin d'identifier la présence du repère.
