CA 2519456

The present invention provides a method for detecting pancreatic carcinoma in a subject. The method includes contacting a nucleic acid-containing specimen from the subject with an agent that provides a determination of the methylation state of at least one gene or associated regulatory region of the gene and identifying aberrant methylation of regions of the gene or regulatory region, wherein aberrant methylation is identified as being different when compared to the same regions of the gene or associated regulatory region in a subject not having the pancreatic carcinoma, thereby detecting pancreatic carcinoma in the subject.

L'invention concerne un procédé destiné à détecter des carcinomes pancréatiques chez un sujet. Ce procédé consiste à mettre en contact un échantillon contenant un acide nucléique du sujet avec un agent produisant une détermination de l'état de méthylation d'au moins un gène ou d'une région régulatrice associée au gène et à identifier les méthylations aberrantes des régions du gène ou des régions régulatrices, la méthylation aberrante étant identifiée comme étant différente lorsqu'elle est comparée aux mêmes régions du gène ou de la région régulatrice associée chez un sujet ne possédant pas de carcinomes pancréatiques, détectant ainsi des carcinomes pancréatiques chez le sujet.
