Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2005123941A1] The inventive method makes it possible to quantify methylated DNA by combining the restricted digestion and real-time PCR. For this purpose, the inventive method consists in isolating the examined DNA from a biological sample, in reacting the isolated AND with a methylation specific restriction enzyme, in amplifying by means of a real-time PCR, wherein the amplified products are formed only when the DNA is precut-off and, afterwards, in calculated the methylated and unmethylated DNA proportion in the initial sample with the aid of a reference measurement. Said method is particularly suitable for diagnosis and prognosis cancer and other diseases associated with a methylation state modification and for predicting the drug effects.
